Somatotype Characteristics of a Mendelian Population from North India and Its association with Cognitive Impairment and Depression
The present article aims to understand the somatotype characteristics and its association with cognitive impairment (CI) and depression among 768 Jat men and women aged 30–80 years from an Mendelian population of north India. The somatotypes are evaluated using the Heath–Carter protocol. Cognition status is assessed through Mini-Mental State Examination scale, while the depression status is determined using Beck’s depression inventory questionnai…
Effect of undernutrition on deciduous tooth emergence among Rajput children of Shimla District of Himachal Pradesh, India
This article examines the influence of nutritional status on the emergence of deciduous dentition in a cross‐sectional sample of 510 rural Rajput children from the Jubbal and Kotkhai Tehsils, Shimla District, Himachal Pradesh, India. The nutritional status of each child was evaluated using Z ‐scores of height/supine length‐for‐age (HAZ), weight‐for‐age (WAZ), and weight‐for‐height (WHZ). The effects of sex and side on deciduous dental emergence w…
Effect of under-nutrition on permanent tooth emergence among Rajputs of Himachal Pradesh, India
Past long-term and chronic under-nutrition may result in delayed emergence of permanent teeth, particularly in younger age groups
Sex, Age and Caste Differences in Somatotypes of Rajput and Scheduled Caste Adolescents from the Sirmour District of Himachal Pradesh, India
Somatotypes of a cross-sectional sample of 544 rural adolescents ranging in age from 11 to 17 years are described. The sample included 269 Rajput (141 girls and 128 boys) and 275 Scheduled Caste (135 girls and 140 boys) subjects. Each subject was somatotyped using the Heath-Carter anthropometric somatotype protocol (Carter & Heath 1990). In all, ten anthropometric measurements namely height, weight, bicondylar diameters of humerus and femur, flex…
Age, Gender and Caste Variations in Scalp Hair Micro-Morphological Variables among Brahmins and Banias of Punjab, India
A cross-sectional sample of 3136 scalp hair drawn from 392 individuals aged 10 to 60 years and belonging to the Bania (n = 201) and Brahmin (n = 191) caste groups of Punjab State of India were examined for diameters of hair shaft and medulla, scale count, medulla type, hair index, medullary index and scale-count index, employing standard procedures. The mean hair shaft diameter, medullary diameter, incidence of medullation and scale-count index w…
Somatotypes of Urban Meiteis of Imphal, Manipur
Anthropometric somatotype of urban Meiteis, ranging in age from 6 to 13 years, are described with a view to assessing the gender and age differences. Cross-sectional data on 340 children (171 boys and 169 girls) was collected from various schools of Imphal town of Manipur State. Each individual was somatotyped with the help of Health-Centre anthropometric protocol using a set of ten body measurements. The average somatotypes for boys and girls we…
Age differences in somatotypes of Garhwali males 17–60 years of age
Changes in somatotype with age were investigated in a cross-sectional sample of 400 Garhwali men from northwest India. The subjects, 17-60 years of age, were somatotyped with the Heath-Carter anthropometric protocol. The overall mean somatotype was 3.0-3.7-3.1. A one-way MANOVA indicated significant differences among the nine age groups. Pairwise comparisons using Hotelling's T2 showed significant differences between men up to 29 years and those …
Growth profile of rural Meitei children of Manipur state of India
Patterns of growth in 10 anthropometric measurements among the rural Manipuri children (N=425), aged 5 to 14 years, with poor socio-economic backgrounds are reported. The anthropometric dimensions include weight, stature, sitting-height, head, chest and midupper-arm circumferences, biepicondylar widths of humerus and femur, and triceps and biceps skinfolds. Except skinfolds, the boys measured more than the girls in all measurements at all ages, e…
Nutritional status among rural Meitei children of Manipur, India
The nutritional status of 301 rural Meitei children (5–11 years old, 163 boys and 138 girls) from low socioeconomic backgrounds was evaluated with the help of dietary survey, clinical signs of mineral and vitamin deficiencies, and selected anthropometric dimensions. The diet was cereal and starchy food—based with rice forming the staple food. Potatoes and green grams, were the commonly consumed tubers and pulses, respectively. Consumption of frui…
Emergence of permanent teeth among the meiteis of Manipur, India
To estimate the time and sequence of emergence of the first 28 permanent teeth in rural Meiteis of Manipur, 440 children 5–14 years of age were examined. Median tooth emergence times were earlier in females than males. The first molar was highly variable in its emergence time in both sexes. With the exception of premolars, mandibular teeth emerged earlier than maxillary teeth. Although no definite pattern was found in bilateral differences, left …
