The surname structure of Trentino (Italy) and its relationship with dialects and genes
Surnames act as cultural markers as do other words, although in this context they cannot be used as reliable proxies for genetic variability at a local scale
Early Breakdown of Isolation Revealed by Marriage Behaviour in a Ladin-Speaking Community (Gardena Valley, South Tyrol, Italy, 1825–1924)
The aim of this study was to investigate marriage behaviour from 1825 to 1924 in an Alpine valley inhabited by Ladin speakers (Gardena Valley, South Tyrol, Italy), where the particular geographic, linguistic and economic characteristics may have influenced the level of reproductive isolation. A total of 2183 marriage acts from the two main parishes of Santa Cristina and Ortisei were examined. Birth and residence endogamy, inbreeding coefficients …
Isolation and Marriage Patterns in Four South Tyrolean Villages (Italy) During the Nineteenth Century
No information is currently available on the marriage patterns of German-speaking communities of the South Tyrol area. The aim of this study is to investigate the reproductive isolation of four South Tyrolean mountain villages during the 19th century. Data about 3953 marriages were drawn from existing pedigrees and completed with data from the parish registers of the studied villages to calculate the following indicators: age at marriage, endogam…
Migration matrices and surnames in populations with different isolation patterns
Biodemographic methods are widely used to infer the genetic structure of human populations. In this study, we revise and standardize the procedures required by the migration matrix model of Malécot ([ 1950 ] Ann Univ Lyon Sci [A] 13: 37–60), testing it in large historical‐demographic databases of 85 populations from three mountain valleys with different degrees of isolation: Val di Lima (Italian Apennines, 21 parishes), Val di Sole, (Italian Alps…
Monthly distribution of menarche in three provinces of North Italy
Data on recalled month of menarche and month of birth have been collected in a sample of 1505 secondary-school students resident in three provinces of North Italy, to examine the monthly distribution of menarche and the relationship between season of birth, season of menarche and age at menarche. Menarche occurrence showed peaks of frequency in January and July-September, and troughs in October-November and February-May. This pattern was consiste…
Trend in menarcheal age and socioeconomic influence in Bologna (Northern Italy)
Temporal variations in menarcheal age in the Bologna province (northern Italy) were investigated in a sample of 2930 women born between 1930 and 1973, examined by retrospective method. A decrease in mean menarcheal age between birth decades 1930-39 and 1950-59 was noticed. The trend was more intense in lower social classes living in extra-urban environments. This led to a disappearance in menarcheal age differences between city and province and b…
Biological age in Italian adults
This study investigated changes with age in biological characters in a sample of 571 Italian males aged between 25 and 64 years. The influence of environmental factors on inter-individual variation in physical efficiency was examined by biological age determination. Data on somatometric, physiometric, haematological variables, personal background and lifestyle, were collected. Principal-component analysis was used to study the patterns of relatio…
