Sexual Dimorphism at Different Stages of Ontogenesis Based on the Kraków – Longitudinal Growth Study, Poland
Introduction and Study Aim The aim of the study is to assess the magnitude of changes in sexual dimorphism with respect to selected morphological traits and the results of physical fitness tests between the ages of 8 and 50. Material and MethodsThe data come from the Kraków Longitudinal Growth Study and pertain to the somatic development and physical fitness of individuals born in 1970 and 1972, conducted in Kraków from 1976 and 1980 up to 2022. …
Changes in physical fitness and body build of women and men surveyed in 2004 and 2022—A longitudinal study
Physical fitness plays a crucial role in determining human health and overall well‐being. The objective of the study was to assess the changes in body structure and physical fitness among individuals examined in 2004 and 2022 (persons aged 32–34 and 50–52). The research material consists of data from the Krakow Continuous Study (KCS) of somatic development and physical fitness of people born in 1970 and 1972, conducted in Krakow in the years 1976…
Age at pubarche and the risk of developing cardiometabolic complications among 50-52-year-old men from Krakow Longitudinal Study (Poland)
Despite contradictory observations, it has been postulated that early age of adrenarche predisposes to an increased risk of cardiometabolic complications in further ontogeny due to greater body fatness. The aim of this study was to test the above postulates. We present the results of research on 67 men aged 50-52 - participants of the Krakow Longitudinal Study conducted in the years 1976-2022 - from two birth cohorts 1970 and 1972. Boys were exam…
Reliability of retrospective assessment of the age of first menstruation
The age of the first menstruation is one of the indicators for assessing the course of puberty. It is also a sensitive indicator of the economic situation of individual professional groups or societies, and the low average age of menarche is widely recognized as a marker of society's well-being. The aim of the study was to analyse the reliability of the retrospective method of assessing the age at menarche by comparing the results to the age obta…
Physical fitness of overweight and underweight preschool children from southern Poland
The main aim of this study was to assess differences in the level of physical fitness between children of preschool age with different BMI, as overweight and obesity are an increasing problem even in this age group. The study group consisted of 3,945 children aged 4 to 6 years living in southern Poland. Analysis included the results of body height and weight measurements (from which BMI was calculated) and motor skills tests: sit-and-reach test, …
Long‐term changes in BMI and adiposity rebound among girls from K raków ( P oland) over the last 30 years (from 1983 to 2010)
BACKGROUND: Early adiposity rebound (AR, below 5 years) is an important predictor of adult obesity. OBJECTIVES: The main purpose of this study was to explore changes in body weight and height, BMI, body fat, and AR timing in girls from Krakow within the last 3 decades. METHODS: 1,970 girls were measured in 2010. Using the results of body height, weight and skin folds measurements, the BMI and %BF was calculated. The LMS method was used to constru…
A comparative analysis of estimation of age at menarche by various methods in women participating in the Krakow Longitudinal Growth Study, Poland
The purpose of this study was to see whether menarcheal age assessment by means of the most frequently used methods that were conducted every time on the same group of girls would yield the same results. One hundred and one Polish girls, whose ages at menarche were recorded in a longitudinal study between 1976 and 1990, were asked to recall the age of menarche in 2004. The mean menarcheal ages of those women were calculated by means of the probit…
