Adipose tissue
OBJECTIVES: This study analyzes the relationship between lead levels and adipose tissue in Sardinian children. As an environmental pollutant, lead occurs in two different chemical forms: inorganic and organic lead; organic lead is present in the environment mainly as lead-alkyls (tetramethyl and tetraethyl lead). The lead-alkyls are characterized by their liposolubility; because of this characteristic, the behavior of organic Pb in the organism i…
Growth charts of head length and breadth for regional areas? A study in Sardinia (Italy)
Hair lead levels to evaluate the subclinical impact of lead on growth in Sardinian children (Italy)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine if there are significant relationships between lead concentrations in children's hair and height, sitting height, and estimated leg length. METHODS: We analyzed three samples collected at different times: 1998, 2002, 2007. The total sample consisted of 825 children between 11 and 14 years of age living in different municipalities of Sardinia (Italy). Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spe…
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 and Palmar Dermatoglyphics among Sardinian Linguistic Groups
Discriminant analyses 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 various subsets of dermatoglyphic variables (23 and 20 digital, 15 and 14 palmar, 4 summary traits) MANOVA revealed high intergroup heterogeneity among the groups of both sexes and within each sex. In the l…
