The influence of maternal age on neonatal outcomes and birth weight
Background: Maternal age has a significant impact on prenatal growth and development and being a great importance for neonatal outcomes and newborn sizes. Objective: The study aims to evaluate how maternal age influences neonatal outcomes. Subjects and methods: Data of 2740 livebirth singleton neonates born in 2010 (653) and 2020 (2087), as well as data on their mothers, were collected from the birth registry of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hos…
Dynamics of Growth in 9-14-year-old Bulgarian Boys and Girls
The physical development of the human body is used as an objective indicator of the health status and work capability of the population. Height and weight are the main anthropometric traits which vary and change significantly during the growth period and are used as a base for the development of anthropometric standards at different ages. The aim of this study is to assess the basic anthropometric traits in adolescent boys and girls in Bulgaria i…
Long term trends in birth weight and length of newborns from Sofia, Bulgaria (1980-2020)
The comparison of anthropological data of newborns from different cohorts helps assessing the influence of changes in living conditions on the intrauterine growth and development. The aim of the study is to evaluate the intensity and direction of the secular trend in birth weight and length of Bulgarian newborns for 40-year period and to discuss the possible impact of different environmental factors. Data of 11,595 singleton live births (6,073 bo…
Asymmetry in Body Composition Variables of Youth Athletes
Assessing bilateral differences in paired anthropometric features is an important methodological problem in sports anthropology. The present study included 128 adolescent female athletes (59 rhythmic gymnasts, 58 tennis players, and 11 swimmers). Body composition components were determined using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance measurements (analyzer InBody 170). Asymmetry coefficients of muscle and fat mass accumulation in the upper (AA) …
Birth Size of Neonates and Its Association with Seasonality
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the season of birth and the birth weight and length of Bulgarian newborns. The weight and length data of 6517 (6098 full-term and 419 preterm) live births in 2000–2001 were collected from the birth registry of II Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynaecology “Sheynovo”, Sofia, Bulgaria. Statistical analyses were done using the SPSS 16 software for Windows: descriptive statistics; the t-test (p
Sex-Related Differences in Chest Dimensions in 9-10 – Years Old Bulgarian Children
Objectives. This study aimed to characterize the sexual differences in chest dimensions and shape in Bulgarian schoolchildren and the relation of chest measurements with vital capacity and some anthropometric parameters. Material and methods. A total of 107 (60 boys and 47 girls) schoolchildren aged 9-10 years from Sofia, Bulgaria were studied. Chest’s diameters and circumference, waist circumference and vital capacity of each subject were measur…
