Early gut microbiota development and catch-up weight gain in full-term small for gestational age infants in the first year of life
Background: The gut microbiota undergoes dynamic changes during infancy, a period that coincides with intensive early growth and metabolic development. Objective: This study aimed to assess gut microbiota colonization patterns in full-term small for gestational age (SGA) infants with catch-up weight gain during the first year of life. Subjects and methods: The longitudinal cohort study included 19 full-term SGA infants and 46 full-term infants bo…
Association between gut microbiota composition and body height in children born small for gestational age in the second year of life
Background: The gut microbiota undergoes dynamic changes during infancy, a period that coincides with intensive early growth and metabolic development. Objective: This study aimed to assess gut microbiota colonization patterns in full-term small for gestational age (SGA) infants with catch-up weight gain during the first year of life.

Catch‐Up Weight Gain and Gut Microbiota Development in Full‐Term Small for Gestational Age Children During the First Year of Life—A Prospective Cohort Study
SGA children had a distinct gut microbiota with higher alpha diversity than AGA peers. In this group, more mature microbiota was linked to faster weight gain and an increased abundance of short-chain fatty acid-producing and obesity-associated bacteria, suggesting that early microbial development may affect the risk of overweight and obesity later in life
Catch-Up Growth as a Risk Factor for Rapid Weight Gain, Earlier Menarche and Earlier Pubertal Growth Spurt in Girls Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA)—A Longitudinal Study
Most children born small for gestational age (SGA) have rapid postnatal growth. Despite its positive aspects, catch-up growth may affect the level of adipose tissue in the pre-pubertal and pubertal periods and therefore affect the age of puberty. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between size at birth, catch-up growth in infancy, BMI in peripubertal period, age at menarche, and the parameters of adolescent growth spurt of bo…
Time intervals between the age at menarche and the onset of sexual activity in Polish women born between 1959 and 2001
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess time intervals between the age at menarche (AM) and age at sexual initiation (ASI) in Polish women born before and after the political transformation period in Poland. METHODS: Participants were 518 women born between 1959 and 2001 in Poland. AM and ASI were based on self-report. Three birth cohorts were distinguished based on the year of birth: I (1959-1979), II (1980-1989), III (1990-2001). Three …
The determinants of survival among adults with cystic fibrosis-a cohort study
Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases. Factors contributing to disease exacerbations and survival rate of CF patients are type of mutation in the CFTR gene, poor nutritional status, lung failure, and infection development by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the severity of mutation, nutritional status, lung function, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa prevalence …
Body composition and lung function in adults with Cystic Fibrosis
The study aimed to assess: (1) differences in nutritional status and lung function between CF patients and the control group; (2) differences in body composition and lung function between groups of patients with CF designated by type of mutation; (3) the relationship between lung function and body composition in CF patients. We studied 37 CF patients aged 19 to 51 years, and 41 healthy non-CF volunteers. Nutritional status was evaluated based on …
BMI at menarche and timing of growth spurt and puberty in Polish girls - longitudinal study
The level of nutritional status at the age of menarche is significantly related to growth and the rate of biological maturation in girls. Higher BMI at menarche is associated with an earlier occurrence of menarche, TO and PHV.
Trends over time in age at sexual debut among Polish women and underlying socio-economic determinants
< 0.001). In cohort I (born between 1970-1975), mean age of initiation was 18.97 years, in cohort II (1976-1980) 18.67 years, in cohort III (1981-1985) 18.53 years; cohort IV (1986-1990) 18.27 years, and cohort V (1991-1995) 16.41 years. Two socio-economic variables significantly affected the age of the sexual activity onset: the type of school and level of education. The mean age of sexual debut among Polish women has significantly decreased ove…
Growth and nutritional status of children from dysfunctional families with alcohol addicted parents in Poland
Influence of socioeconomic factors on age at menarche of Polish girls
The aim of the study is to determine the influence of socioeconomic factors on age at menarche in Polish girls. Questionnaire data of 2016 girls were collected during the cross-sectional research. Within the socioeconomic variables parents' education, urbanization, number of children in the family and date of menarche were considered. To examine the effects of the analyzed socioeconomic factors on age at menarche, the analysis of variance and the…
Biological maturity at birth, the course of the subsequent ontogenetic stages and age at menarche
Body mass index, waist to hip ratio and waist/height in adult Polish women in relation to their education, place of residence, smoking and alcohol consumption
Assessment of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht in pre- and postmenopausal women
The main goal of this study was to determine whether and how values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht indicators change in pre- and postmenopausal women. The tested group consisted of 10,216 women aged 25-95 years. Data were collected during the national campaign "Fighting Obesity", organized by Hand-Prod Company between 2000-2002 across Poland, when adult women voluntarily filled in a questionnaire and participated in anthropometric measurements. The BMI…
The second to fourth digit ratio and asymmetry
Our data show that both low 2D:4D (a marker of high prenatal testosterone) and high 2D:4D (a marker of high prenatal oestrogen) are associated with elevated levels of asymmetry and this relationship applies particularly to finger asymmetry
Assessment of the body mass index and selected physiological parameters in pre- and post-menopausal women

A review of anthropological approaches to ageing
It is evident that the pattern of ageing among humans has a unique character. Therefore, when undertaking any research on human ageing one has to specify a proper methodology and methods which are available in the anthropological perspective. The paper is aimed at providing a review of anthropological approaches to the study of ageing. On the basis of the meaning and scope of the concept of ageing, its sources and causal factors are discussed. Fu…
