Overweight and Obesity in Rural Girls From Poland
Several studies have documented increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in inhabitants of rural regions, but determinants of their prevalence are complex and not always in one direction. The aim of this study was to estimate both the prevalence and extent of overweight and obesity among rural girls in Poland between 1987 and 2001, as well as to assess differentiation of the phenomenon between regions of different social structures. The dat…
Socioeconomic Determinants of Menarche in Rural Polish Girls Using the Decision Trees Method
The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of the decision trees method as a research method of multidimensional associations between menarche and socioeconomic variables. The article is based on data collected from the rural area of Choszczno in the West Pomerania district of Poland between 1987 and 2001. Girls were asked about the appearance of first menstruation (a yes/no method). The average menarchal age was estimated by the probit a…
Unemployment in the Polish countryside and its effect on the development and rate of maturation of rural girls
The aim of this study is to assess the biological status of girls from landless rural families - daughters of working fathers, and those of unemployed fathers. The measures include age at menarche, body height and weight, and the body mass index (BMI). The study of rural girls was conducted in 2001; a total of 9599 girls aged 9-18 were examined. The material used in the present article only embraces girls from non-farming rural families (N = 4476…
Anthropological assessment of changes in living conditions of the rural population in Poland in the period 1967–2001
Background: Poland is considered an ethnically homogeneous country, with no significant national, linguistic, religious or racial minorities. Thus, social differences in rates of maturation, height and weight may be assumed to contain a negligible genetic component and serve as a reflection of environment, i.e. living conditions.Aim: This study seeks to determine whether changes in economic conditions in Poland, in particular the acute economic c…
Changes in the Biological Status of Polish Girls From a Rural Region Associated With Economic and Political Processes in the Period 1967–2001
The age at menarche, body height and weight of the daughters of farmers, farmer–workers and landless villagers in a rural region of Poland were studied. In the period 1967–1977, a time of economic development, a decrease in age at menarche (by 0.74 years) and a secular trend in body height (by 2.4 cm/decade) was observed. In 1977–1987, a period of acute economic crisis, age at menarche increased by 0.16 years and the secular trend in body height …

Biological effects of socio-economic changes in the rural environment of the Krosno province in 1967-1997
Village girls in the age of 9-18 , inhabiting Krosno region, were surveyed in 1967 (n=l 134), 1977 (n=1028), 1987 (n=l 255), and 1997 (n=1992). Based on the source of income of the families, three groups were separated: farmers, farmers-workers and nonfarmers. The girls were also divided on the basis of the number of children in the family, and the educational status of their fathers and mathers. The age at menarche for entire region was 13.94 ± …

Age at menarche as an indicator of the socioeconomic situation of rural girls in Poland in 1967, 1977, and 1987
Village girls, 9.5–18.5 years of age, inhabiting various regions of Poland, were surveyed in 1967 (n = 7,886), 1977 (n = 7,771), and 1987 (n = 11,479). Based on the source of income of the families, three groups were identified: farmers, farmer‐workers, and nonfarmers. The girls were also divided on the basis of the number of children in the family and education of their fathers. In all three surveys, the earliest age at menarche was observed in …
Rozwój biologiczny dzieci i młodzieży z rodzin społecznie zaburzonych. I. Wychowankowie „Ognisk Wychowawczych” w Warszawie
The studies covered a total of 313 wards of Part Time Care Centers. This number comprised 227 boys and 86 girls in the age from 8 to 17 years. Anthropological examinations refered to measurements of body height and weight, the evaluation of secondary sexual traits in this age (the menarche in girls) and health conditions. Data concerning the above traits were also retrospectively obtained from the records since the time when the subjects were adm…
Age at menarche and its secular trend in urban and rural girls in Poland
Menarcheal age of 5546 Warsaw girls studied in 1976 was estimated by probit analysis as 12.73+/-0.03 SD 1.10 and of 7771 rural girls studied during 1976-1978 as 13.40+/-0.02 SD 1.20. The difference was 0.67+/-0.04. The difference between the groups from Warsaw and rural areas where fathers had only primary education was 0.57+/-0.07 year, while that between the groups where fathers had the highest education in both localities was only 0.31+/-0.09.…
Redefining Race
Analysis of physical anthropology textbooks published in the United States in the years 1932-79 reveals a significant decline in support for the race concept, expecially in the 1970s. Before 1970 the great majority of texts expressed the view that races exist and that the race concept is a valid tool for the description and study of human variation. In the 1970s an increasing proportion of texts rejected the race concept, with the no-race view be…
