Evidence supporting nubility and reproductive value as the key to human female physical attractiveness
Maternal milk DHA content predicts cognitive performance in a sample of 28 nations
Convergent evidence from neuronal biology and hominin brain hypertrophy suggests that omega-3 fatty acids are a limiting resource for neural and cognitive development in Homo sapiens, and therefore that children from populations with higher omega-3 availability should display superior cognitive performance. Using multiple regression, we tested this prediction in a sample of 28 countries, with Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) …
Fatty acid composition in the mature milk of Bolivian forager‐horticulturalists: Controlled comparisons with a US sample
Breast milk fatty acid (FA) composition varies greatly among individual women, including in percentages of the long-chain polyunsaturated FAs (LCPUFA) 20:4n-6 (arachidonic acid, AA) and 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), which are important for infant neurological development. It has been suggested that owing to wide variation in milk LCPUFA and low DHA in Western diets, standards of milk FA composition should be derived from populations consum…
Costs and benefits of fat-free muscle mass in men: Relationship to mating success, dietary requirements, and native immunity
Waist-hip ratio and cognitive ability: Is gluteofemoral fat a privileged store of neurodevelopmental resources?
Menarche is related to fat distribution
The energy demands of pregnancy and lactation together with the accumulation of stored fat in human females during development suggest that a critical level of fat may be required for menarche; but multivariate analyses have supported the alternative view that skeletal growth is the main factor. However, significant differences between upper‐ and lower‐body (gluteofemoral) fat suggest that fat distribution may be more relevant than total fat. Usi…
Changes in body fat distribution in relation to parity in American women: A covert form of maternal depletion
Using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), conducted from 1988-1994, we investigated the effect of reproduction on the distribution of body fat in well-nourished American women. While women tend to gain weight and fat with succeeding pregnancies, if age and body mass index are controlled, increasing parity is associated with a decrease in hip and thigh circumferences, suprailiac and thigh skinfolds, a…
