Limits of adaptation. Pain thresholds and tolerance in alpinists under environmental stress – exploratory analysis
Background: Human responses to pain and sensory stimuli are shaped by both biological constitution and long-term exposure to environmental stressors. Extreme environments such as high altitude, cold, heat and intensive physical effort represent strong selective and adaptive pressures. Alpinists constitute a unique group with repeated exposure to hypoxia, thermal stress and sustained physical load, which may influence sensory perception and pain r…
Body, media or activity: What shapes contemporary body image?
Background: Despite the growing number of studies on body image, few have simultaneously examined anthropometric parameters, psychological factors, and the influence of social media within a single integrative framework. Existing research rarely captures the complex interplay between biological, psychological, and socio-cultural determinants of body perception. This gap highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that provide a more comp…
Body composition characteristics as the moderators of pain thresholds changes in different thermo-climatic conditions
Background: Pain perception (PP) is a complex human trait shaped by biological characteristics and environmental conditions. From an anthropological perspective, variability in pain sensitivity reflects interactions between body build, physiological regulation and external stressors (e.g. hypoxia, thermal extremes). Body composition influences thermoregulation and metabolic processes and may therefore contribute to individual differences in senso…

BMI and adiposity based approach to obesity: The need for ethnic specificity. A reply to Kapoor et al . (2019)
The ethnicity of the studied group is one of the key characteristics that should be taken into consideration when analysing the problem of overweight and obesity. It is especially crucial in populations of countries such as India, where the proportion of the fat to lean mass and general adiposity are significantly different from those observed among Europeans. This can cause a higher risk of various metabolic-related diseases to appear at relativ…

Body height, weight, and Body Mass Index – magnitude and pace of secular changes in children and adolescents from Kraków (Poland) between 1983 and 2020
In conclusion, the rapid increase of body height in the years 1983-2000 and later secular increase of the body mass and BMI in 2000-2010 were probably associated mainly with significant socio-economic progress of the country. On the other hand, deceleration of those trends in 2010-2020, especially in regards to body height, may be associated with reaching the maximum genetically attainable body height in the examined population
