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 …
In utero undernourishment during WWII
Under marginal nutritional conditions, growth in utero is related to subsequent growth and adult height. The aim of this research is to compare the young adult body size of women grouped by estimated duration of pregnancy relative to World War II. Subjects were 620 university students 18-25 years, for whom archival data for date of birth, age, height and weight were available; the BMI was calculated. Based on estimated time of pregnancy and birth…
Did family size affect differences in body height in non-urbanized societies? Evidence from the Lemko community in Poland in the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of economic changes in the Polish territories under Austrian partition at the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th centuries on the trend in adult body height, and to examine the effect of number of children in a family, as a socioeconomic factor, on the differences in heights of males and females. Data collected in a 1939 survey for a group of 350 Lemkos living in Polish lands under the …
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…
Body Mass Index Values in the Gentry and Peasantry in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Poland
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of social and occupational status on the BMI of the gentry and peasantry in the Kingdom of Poland at the turn of 19th and early 20th centuries. Use was made of data on the height and weight of 304 men, including 200 peasants and 104 gentlemen, and 275 women, including 200 from the peasantry and 75 from the gentry. Gentlemen were characterized by a greater body height than peasants (169.40 cm and 166.…
Body size of young adult Polish college‐age women born before, during, and after WWII
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the young adult body size of Polish female university students born before, during, and after WWII. METHODS: Age, height, and weight of 492 students measured between 1956 and 1972 were accessed from the Department of Anthropology archives (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań). The sample was divided into three birth year cohorts relative to WWII: before (n = 120), during (n = 196), and after (n = 17…

Height as an Indicator of Economic Status in the Polish Territories Under Russian Rule at the Turn of the 19th to 20th Century
Height is regarded as one of the indicators of environmental stress at population level, being an excellent barometer of standard of living. The aim of this study was to describe diversity in height among populations living in different regions of the Kingdom of Poland in terms of the economic factors in the second half of the 19th and early 20th century. This study examines the height of adult inhabitants from five guberniyas (provinces) of the …
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…
Electrophoretic Mobility of Cell Nuclei (EMN) index – relation to biological and physical properties of the cell
The authors describe certain physical and biological properties of cell and resulting electrical and electrokinetic properties, directly or indirectly related with the Electrophoretic Mobility of Cell Nuclei (EMN) index. This index, may become a new criterion in the estimation of the biological age, irrespective of the stage of the ontogenesis
