Genetic distances among the diabetic “Punjabis” and comparative populations from North India
Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is emerging as a major non-communicable disease in developing countries. Using principal component and Mahalanobis' generalized distance analyses, we examined gene frequency data at 3 polymorphic loci in sedentee urban controls, urban diabetics of the “Punjabi” population along with other comparative populations from North India. Mahalanobis generalized distance analysis suggests relative dissimilar…
Nonmetric cranial variation and biological distances between samples of six nontribal populations of India
Sixty-nine nonmetrical morphological variants of the cranium have been studied in six samples of non-tribal, state populations in India, and their incidence reported. Using C.A.B. Smith’s angular transformation of frequencies, the multivariate Thetasquare distances and their respective standard deviations have been presented. On the basis of nonmetrical cranial variation, it is clear that the samples from Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar a…
The epidemiological transition and the risk factors for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in «Punjabi» population of north India
The prevalence of NIDDM in the «Punjabi» population from north India corroborates the «epidemiological transition» model. Hospital admittees gave a higher prevalence of NIDDM in urban areas (8.2–9.3 percent), as compared to rural areas (2.4 percent), and this difference probably is the outcome of the respective lifestyles. Moreover, urban residents are 3.7 times more likely to develop diabetes than are rural residents. Principal component analysi…
Mandibular Measurements and Discrete Nonmetric Traits Compared in Distance Studies of Six Non-tribal Indian Skeletal Samples
Seven metric and six nonmetric traits have been used to describe and discriminate mandibular characteristics of six non-tribal populations of India. Analyses of the six samples indicate that while metric traits possess a slightly better discriminating power than nonmetric traits in differentiating populations in the present investigation, both kinds of traits reveal a similar pattern of interpopulation differences. It is felt that both metric and…
Sexual Dimorphism in Punjabi Infants
Sexual dimorphism for 12 somatometric traits (9 absolute and 3 generated) was calculated on a group of 154 Punjabi infants by using the formula given by WOLANSKI (1965). The magnitude of differences between male and female infants was found to change with age and these changes were not unidirectional. Periods of greater and smaller differences were found to occur among infants of Punjabi parentage
