Spatial diffusion of surnames by long transhumance routes between highland and lowland
Craniofacial morphometric variation and the biological history of the peopling of Sardinia
Offspring from endogamic vs. exogamic matings
This study evaluates possible differences in body dimensions among children from matings of different exogamy levels. The cross-sectional sample consisted of 867 children, 435 males, and 432 females, 6-10 years old, attending elementary schools in the metropolitan area of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia (Italy). The children were divided into two groups according to the level of exogamy. The first group consisted of children of parents born in …
Quantitative digital dermatoglyphics in males and females of four Sardinian linguistic groups
Radial and ulnar ridge counts on each of the 10 fingers, total finger ridge count, bilateral summed radial and ulnar finger ridge counts, an index of asymmetry between homologous fingers and two indices of intraindividual diversity of finger ridge counts were used to identify biological relationships among Sardinian linguistic groups. Stepwise discriminant analysis of 26 digital traits of 1258 Sardinians, 647 females and 611 males, was carried ou…
Quantitative dermatoglyphics in males and females of five Sardinian linguistic groups
Discriminant analysis of 23 digital and 15 palmar quantitative dermatoglyphic variables of 1364 Sardinians, 689 males and 675 females, were performed to identify biological relationships among five Sardinian linguistic groups of both sexes. By ANOVA 17 of the 23 digital variables and 4 of the 15 palmar variables were significantly different among males and females of the Sardinian linguistic groups. By MANOVA the results indicate high intergroup …
Changes in body and head dimensions in urban Sardinian children (3-5 years) from 1986 to 2001
We conclude that there is enough evidence that the Sahara clinical bone sonometer is not useful in screening of low bone mass in children
The Question of Differences in Body Dimensions between Children from Endogamie and Exogamie Matings
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in body dimensions between children of the same sex from endogamic and exogamic matings. The cross-sectional sample consisted of 285 children, 136 males and 149 females, 6 to 10 years old, attending elementary schools in Tortolí, a town in east-central Sardinia. The children of each sex were divided into two groups: endogamic and exogamic, the first including children from pare…
Blood lead levels in children from Sardinian villages at high risk of environmental crisis
This study reports blood lead levels measured in 1998 in children from three Sardinian villages: Portoscuso, Sant'Antioco, and Sestu. Portoscuso is located about 2 km from one of the most important industrial complexes in Sardinia. Sant'Antioco, together with the villages of Carbonia, Gonnesa, Portoscuso and San Giovanni Suergiu, is in the Sulcis-Iglesiente zone, defined as an “area of high risk of environmental crisis” on the basis of the Decree…
Coefficient of relationship by isonymy between 14 Sardinian villages in the periods 1800-1824 and 1950-1974.
Lasker's coefficient of relationship was calculated between 14 villages in Sardinia in order to estimate biological relationships on the base of common surnames. The data derive from parish marriage registers for the periods 1800-1824 and 1950-1974. Through time, coefficients of relationship between villages are generally higher for neighbouring villages. Moreover, the Ri between values decreases as the geographic distances increase. The negative…
Directional asymmetry of finger ridge counts in females of Sardinian linguistic groups
Comparison of blood lead levels in three groups of Sardinian children
This paper reports blood lead levels in children from three Sardinian municipalities: Portoscuso, Iglesias, and Sestu. Portoscuso, chosen as the control area, is located about 2 km from one of the most important industrial complexes of the island. Iglesias was once an important zinc-lead mining centre. Sestu is a semi-urban centre located about 10 km from Cagliari (the islands's capital), and may be considered unexposed to lead pollution. Blood l…
Population structure in Sardinia on the basis of quantitative palmar dermatoglyphic traits
We describe the genetic structure of twenty Sardinian subpopulations using quantitative palmar dermatoglyphic traits (a-b, and A-d counts, atd angle value, coefficient of Turpin and Lejeune, main line index, mean of A-, B-, C, and D-line terminations) of 3777 subjects (2043 males and 1734 females). The twenty subdivisions represent sixteen historical-geographic areas of the island in which people speaks Sardinian language, Sassarese and Gallura a…
Palmar pattern frequencies as indicators of relationships among Sardinian linguistic groups of males
Palmar pattern frequencies were used to calculate distance coefficients between Sardinian linguistic groups of males for the purpose of verifying, by means of correlation matrix analyses, whether or not the dermatoglyphic traits considered lead to a reliable identification of the biological relationships on the basis of the linguistic backgrounds of these groups. With Sanghvi's $$\sqrt {X^2 } $$ as the distance measure and by using palmar pattern…
Secular trend in height in Sardinian conscripts drafted from 1879-1883 to 1983-1986
This paper deals with the secular height trend in Sardinian conscripts. Between 1883 and 1986 an increase in height of 6.77 cm (0.66 cm/decade) was found. On comparing conscripts born in 1948-1949 (immediately after the Second World War) with those born in 1964-1968 one sees an increase in average height of 2.39 cm/decade, with a peak of 3.67 cm/decade in the comparison between subjects born in 1948-1949 and those born in 1955-1958.
Present-day G-6-PD deficit in Sardinia with respect to malarial morbidity and mortality in the past
Current Gd- gene distribution in Sardinia is analyzed using data on a sample of 4300 Sardinian males examined at the time of their pre-military checkup from 1983 to 1986, as well as data in the literature. Also examined is the relationship of current G-6-PD deficit distribution to probable malarial morbidity and mortality during the first half of this century. From data on deficit distribution by altitude analyzed for 100 villages of the island, …
Dermatoglyphics in pathology with emphasis on breast cancer and cervix carcinoma
The finger and palmar prints of 118 women with breast cancer and of 37 women with cervix carcinamo were studied. The results were compared with two groups of healthy women, the first consisted of aged women (average age of 78.94) and the second of young women. Only four differences out of ten (40%) were significant between women with breast cancer and young women. One difference out of ten (10%) was significant in the comparison between women wit…
Somatovariants of Sardinian recruits from the three principal geographic areas of the island
Using the constitutional method based on somatovariants, three samples with a total of 1207 recruits, divided according to the three main geographic areas of Sardinia (North, Center, South) were compared. Individuals from the center of the island are lighter and shorter than those belonging to the other two regions. Since this somatic typology corresponds to expectations based on data analyzed in a previous investigation, the somatotype method ca…
Age at menarche in Sardinia (Italy)
The median age at menarche in 1080 Sardinian girls (ages 11.00-16.49 years) was calculated with the status quo method and probit analysis as 12.78 +/- 0.06 years
Dermatoglyphic distances and different linguistic groups in Sardinia
By means of Penrose's C H 2 , a matrix of dermatoglyphic distances was calculated from several palmar characteristics of 1831 males belonging to different Sardinian linguistic groups. Then, by means of cluster analysis, a dendrogram was constructed and compared with a diagram of the affinities among the linguistic groups. This comparison shows a good congruency between the dendrogram structure and the diagram of linguistic affinities
Some dermatoglyphic traits in breast carcinoma
The finger and palmar prints of 60 women with breast carcinoma were studied. The results were compared with two groups of healthy women, the first consisted of old women and the second of young women. The dermatoglyphics seem to be of little use in the diagnosis of cancers of ectodermic origin
