  • Problems of sampling and inference in the study of fluctuating dental asymmetry

    Open AccessB H Smith, Stanley M Garn et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1982Cited by: 17References: 20

    Randomly distributed or “fluctuating” dental asymmetry has been accorded evolutionary meaning and interpreted as a result of environmental stress. However, except for congenital malformation syndromes, the determinants of human crown size asymmetry are still equivocal. Both a computer simulated sampling experiment using a combined sample size of N = 3000, and the requirements of adequate statistical power show that sample sizes of several hundred…

  • Relationships between sugar‐foods and the DMFT in 1968–1970

    Stanley M Garn, Patricia E Cole et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1980

    As shown in a sample of 2514 adolescent participants in the Ten‐State Nutrition Survey of The United States, there is a systematic relation between sugar‐food intakes and dental caries as shown by the DMFT index. Analyzed with respect to the DMFT, adolescents with high values of the DMFT reported sugar‐food ingestion ten times greater than did comparable adolescents with low DMFT values. Conversely, boys and girls and blacks and whites deemed hig…

  • Approaches to the analysis of fatness changes and continuity

    Stanley M Garn, Stephen Bailey et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1980

    As shown in repeat fatfold and weight measurements of 2,333 18.5–45 year old adults from the Tecumseh (Mich) Community Health Study, fractionation into fatness groupings ("lean,” “medium” and “obese") provides more detailed and useful information on individual changes in fatness than is revealed by the simple correlation (r). So analyzed, it can be shown that the majority of lean individuals of both sexes remain lean over nearly a decade but that…

  • Sugar‐food intake of obese and lean adolescents

    Stanley M Garn, Marcia A Solomon et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1980

    Dietary intake data on 4907 adolescent participants in the Ten‐State Nutrition Survey of the U.S.A. show no higher intake of sugar‐foods for obese participants than for lean participants of the same age, sex and race. These findings are consistent with other evidence that obesity is not associated with an increased preference for sucrose‐containing foods and suggest that taste is not a factor in adolescent obesity

  • Sex discriminatory effectiveness using combinations of root lengths and crown diameters

    Open AccessStanley M Garn, Patricia E Cole et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1979Cited by: 10References: 6

    Using optical‐scanner (OPTOCOM) and radiogrammetric measurements on mandibular permanent teeth, root length alone affords sex‐discriminatory effectiveness equal to or exceeding conventional crown diameters. Combinations of root lengths and crown dimensions yield up to 80% accuracy in sexing with as few as two teeth, and discriminatory effectiveness of 87% with mandibular teeth alone

  • The abdominal and iliac fatfolds in nutritional assessment

    Stanley M Garn, Patricia E Cole et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1977

    As shown in 2,491 adults and in 6,388 parent‐child comparisons, the abdominal fatfold (taken two centimeters to the right of the umbilicus) and the iliac fatfold (measured just above the crest of the ilium) are not less useful measures of fatness than the conventional triceps and subscapular fatfolds. With intra‐individual correlations up to 0.87–0.90 in adults, the abdominal and iliac fatfolds may be singularly valuable for nutritional appraisal

  • Effect of parental fatness levels on the fatness of biological and adoptive children

    Stanley M Garn, Patricia E Cole et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1977

    As shown in pairings involving 2,845 biological children and 147 adopted children, fatness of the children increases in stepwise fashion according to parental fatness combinations (Lean X Lean through Obese X Obese) for both biological and for social (i.e., adopted) children as well, thus indicating that fatness (while strongly familial) is not necessarily genetic

  • The problem with one‐day dietary intakes

  • Similarities between parents and their adopted children

    Open AccessStanley M Garn, Stephen Bailey et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1976Cited by: 8References: 8

    As shown in 7,230 parent‐child pairs (6,726 biological and 504 adoptive), adoptive parents and their adopted children tend to resemble each other in height, weight and fatfolds to an extent paralleling height, weight and fatfold resemblances of natural (biological) parents and their children. Accordingly, the magnitudes of parent‐child resemblances commonly given may not be indicative of the extent of heritability of stature, weight and subcutane…
