Genetic and environmental factors affecting menarcheal age in Spanish women
Genetic and environmental contributions to menarcheal age were studied in 267 Spanish girls and women born between 1948 and 1981, and their mothers born between 1922 and 1959 (n = 200). Recalled age at menarche, as well as family environment characteristics (family size, birth order, father's occupation and father's educational level) were obtained from each woman. Mean age at menarche in mothers (13.45 years; SD = 1.51) was significantly (p < 0.…
Body composition of rural and urban children from the Central Region of Spain
Body composition components are considered in a cross-sectional sample of 2564 children (age range 6-14 years) from Central Spain. The sample was divided depending on rural or urban residence. Weight, and skinfold at the triceps, biceps, subscapular and suprailiac site were measured. Body composition was represented by percentage fat (%F), lean body mass (LBM), fat mass (FM) and sum of skinfolds (SSK). Sex differences were found to be highly sign…
Assortative mating in a Spanish population
Assortative mating for 22 anthropometric and body composition characteristics and social indicators was studied in a Spanish sample of 114 married couples. Significant spousal similarity was found for occupation, educational level and number of siblings. Sex–age adjusted spouse correlations were significant for stature, ileospinal height, total arm length, and biacromial breadth. Spouse correlations were not altered after allowance for socioecono…
Heritabilities of morphological and body composition characteristics in a Spanish population
Different estimates of heritability are presented for a set of anthropometric characteristics taken in 844 individuals from 261 families living in the Madrid city area (Spain). The data include measurements of 10 craniofacial, 11 body skeletal (4 lengths and 7 breadths), and 13 fat-related characteristics (weight, 3 circumferences, 6 skinfold thicknesses, body mass index and arm fat and arm muscle areas). The estimates computed from parent and of…
Fatness and fat patterning in relation to age changes and menarche
The present study assesses changes with age in fatness and fat patterning in a cross-sectional sample of Spanish schoolgirls from 6 to 16 years of age living in an urban area (Madrid). Arm muscle area and arm fat area were derived from middle-upper arm anthropometry. Body mass index (weight/height2) and the sum of the skinfold thicknesses at three sites (triceps, subscapular and suprailiac) were computed as indices of adiposity; and two indices o…
