Hunter-gatherers wolf interactions increased in the Franco-Cantabrian glacial refugee during the LGM before dog domestication
Background: Hunter-gatherers in the Late Palaeolithic developed several cultural and technical innovations, among which dog domestication outstands. The complex process of wolf-dog domestication seems to have been developed in several sub-regions of Eurasia. Among these regions, the Franco-Cantabrian Fringe (FCF) in Western Europe outstands for having some of the oldest morphometrically and genetically identified dog remains. On this basis, the M…
Pilot study on level 3 fingerprint features for their use in forensic identification
Background: Dermatoglyphs are formed early during prenatal development and, due to their individuality and permanence, are commonly used for identification. When fingertips touch a surface, sweat distributed along the ridges is transferred, producing a latent fingerprint. To use this latent fingerprint for identification purposes, each country establishes a well-defined minimum number of level 2 features (or minutiae). Latent fingerprints obtaine…
Ideal body image for the opposite sex and its association with body mass index
This research studied the preferences reported by women and men about their Ideal Body Image for the Opposite Sex (IBIOS), and its association with body mass index (BMI). It also analysed the preferences of each sex for a woman’s ideal body image (W-IBI) and a man’s ideal body image (M-IBI). A total of 450 participants aged 18–70 years with different weights were studied. Their IBIOS was assessed using standard figural stimuli. The sample was div…
Association between lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes in adults from the Basque Country (Spain)
Lifestyle is related to the risk of obesity, but the relationship between different lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes remains unclear. This study analysed the association between different lifestyle features (eating habits, activity, sleep patterns, and tobacco and alcohol consumption), and four obesity phenotypes (overall and abdominal obesity, distribution and percentage of fat). The sample included 521 adults aged between 18 and 70 yea…
Nutritional quality and carbon footprint of university students’ diets
Objective: To evaluate diets in terms of nutritional characteristics and quality from the perspectives of health, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and possible associations with each other in a representative sample of students at a public university. Design: Cross-sectional. Dietary intake was evaluated with a validated FFQ, and diet quality was assessed through the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) and MedDietScore (MDS). GHGE data were obtained f…
Phenotypic diversity and history of the Congo Basin populations
The samples of Equatorial Guinea show a major inter-group overlap, and considerable intra-group variations. There are also notable differences amongst African Pygmy populations in terms of height, but not in body proportions
Los llamados puentes alimentarios
La convivencia entre altas tasas de despilfarro alimentario y una creciente bolsa de personas en situación de pobreza alimentaria es una de las paradojas del sistema alimentario contemporáneo. Los puentes alimentarios son estrategias que, impulsadas por distintos actores, persiguen que alimentos aptos para el consumo que han quedado fuera del circuito comercial puedan ser reconducidos hacia personas que están en situación o riesgo de exclusión so…
Body image in relation to nutritional status in adults from the Basque Country, Spain
The aim of this research was to analyse variation in body image perception and satisfaction by age, sex and nutritional status in an adult sample from the Basque Country, Spain. A case-control study was performed for 227 women and 178 men aged 18–70 years. Stunkard’s silhouettes were used to evaluate Current Body Image (CBI) and Ideal Body Image (IBI), as well as dissatisfaction and inconsistency scores. Nutritional status was assessed following …
Contribution of obesity associated genetic variants to anthropometric somatotype components
< 0.05). In conclusion, four genetic variants (in or near BDNF, NRXN3, MAP2K5 and FTO) contribute to body shape and composition in the analysed sample.
Association between birth weight and educational attainment
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that birth weight is positively associated with education, but it remains unclear whether this association is explained by familial environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauterine environment. We analysed the association between birth weight and educational years within twin pairs, which controls for genetic factors and the environment shared between co-twins. METHODS: The data were derived from nine twin …

New specific bioelectrical impedance vector reference values for assessing body composition in the Italian‐Spanish young adult population
OBJECTIVE: Specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (spBIVA) is a recently proposed technique for the analysis of body composition. The aim of this study was to apply spBIVA to a sample of Italian and Spanish young adults and to define the new bioelectrical references for this Western Mediterranean population. METHODS: A sample of 440 individuals (220 from Italy, 220 from Spain; 213 men, 227 women) aged 18-30 years was considered. Anthrop…
Association of maternal menarcheal age with anthropometric dimensions and blood pressure in children from Greater Bilbao
Children with earlier MMA tend to have greater anthropometric dimensions. Adolescent growth spurt might affect these relationships, at least in girls
Common variants in BDNF, Faim2, FTO, MC4R, Negr1, and SH2B1 show association with obesity‐related variables in S panish R oma population
The results of this study suggest that SNPs in or near six genes (BDNF, FAIM2, FTO, MC4R, NEGR1, and SH2B1) are significantly associated with body fat accumulation and distribution in Roma people. However, the association observed among variants in the first intron of FTO and obesity in European derived populations is not evident in the analyzed Roma sample
Obesity and body size perceptions in a Spanish Roma population
This Roma population presents one of the highest rates of obesity worldwide. Although a certain awareness of the correct weight status was appreciated, the inability of Roma individuals to see themselves as overweight or obese may be a significant factor on the high prevalence of obesity in this population
Heritability variations of body linearity and obesity indicators during growth
Heritability and genetic correlations of obesity-related phenotypes among Roma people
The study concluded that the Greater Bilbao Roma population is genetically predisposed to abdominal fat distribution. Variation in body mass is highly associated with variation in adiposity. However, overall fatness and adiposity distribution does not seem to share major common genetic factors, although common environmental factors operate between them
Association among Obesity-Related Anthropometric Phenotypes
Obesity has become a public-health and policy problem in many parts of the world. Epidemiological and population studies in this field are usually based on different anthropometric measures; however, common genetic and environmental factors between these phenotypes have been scarcely studied. The objective of this article is to assess the strength of these factors on the covariation among a large set of obesity-related traits. The subject group c…
Genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to adulthood
Objectives: Human growth is a complex process that remains insufficiently understood. We aimed to analyze genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to early adulthood. Methods: Two cohorts of monozygotic and dizygotic (same sex and opposite sex) Finnish twin pairs were studied longitudinally using self‐reported height at 11–12, 14, and 17 years and adult age (FinnTwin12) and at 16, 17, and 18years and adult age (FinnTwin1…
Quantitative genetics of human morphology and obesity-related phenotypes in nuclear families from the Greater Bilbao (Spain)
Familial correlations and heritability estimates of body morphology and composition from the Greater Bilbao sample were within the range observed in other studies. The lower heritability detected for central fat has also been found in some other populations, but further investigations in different populations using the same anthropometric traits and estimation methods are needed in order to obtain more robust conclusions
Common genetic and environmental factors among craniofacial traits in Belgian nuclear families
Multifactorial analysis of a mixed-longitudinal sample of Indian siblings
Contribution of Genetics and Environment to Craniofacial Anthropometric Phenotypes in Belgian Nuclear Families
In this study we estimate relative genetic and environmental influences on head-related anthropometric phenotypes. The subject group consisted of 119 nuclear families living in Brussels, Belgium, and included 238 males and 236 females, ages 17 to 72 years. Two factor analyses with varimax rotation (the first one related to facial measurements and the second one to overall head morphology) were used to analyze 14 craniofacial size traits. The resu…
Heritability of the somatotype components in Biscay families
Heritability variations of morphometric traits in West Bengal (India) children aged 4–19 years
These results confirmed the existence of age-related trends in heritability of the considered morphometric traits. The sharp decline of the heritabilities at adolescence in most of the morphometric traits, and the acromio-iliac index in particular, may be due to the large inter-individual variation in the age at which the adolescent growth spurt is reached in both sexes
Skin colour in the Basque population
Skin colour has been analysed in 352 males and 393 females of the Basques. Measurements of upper-arm reflectance were taken using 9 filters of an EEL reflectance spectrophotometer. Regional differences are not found. Sexual dimorphism is not equally revealed in all filters in the same manner, but females are, on average, lighter skinned than males. By means of Penrose's size ans shape distance comparisons were made with several European populatio…

Menarcheal age in a sample of Basque schoolgirls
Reported data on age at menarche in a sample of Biscayan schoolgirls are compared with data from several Spanish populations. Though the mean age falls in the range of variation of the Spanish means, the analysis of variance shows significant differences among the series. With regard to the possible secular trend of this event in the Biscay province, both a stability of menarcheal age and a diminution of the process of variability are observed.

A somatotypical study of the geographic variations between two Spanish populations
Morphological differences between university students from Bilbao (Basque Country) and Madrid (Spanish Meseta) have been studied. The sample sizes are 99 and 119, respectively, and the age ranges from 18 to 22 years. The main differences between the two groups under study were observed concerning the skinfold thicknesses. Body weight, stature and limb girths do not show remarkable differences. The physiques, as judged from anthropometric somatoty…
Incidence of red-green colour blindness in the Basque population
Skin colour variability in Basque boys aged 8–19 years
Skin colour variation with increasing age was analysed using a cross-sectional sample of 796 Basque boys aged from 8 to 19 years. Measurements were taken at the upper inner arm and forehead by means of an EEL DS29 Digital Unigalvo reflectance spectrophotometer with a nine-filter head. Ontogenic changes of skin pigmentation were found to be statistically significant. The influence of the month in which measurements were taken on reflectance values…
Age at menarche from a Biscayan coastal population (Basque Country)
Data on menarcheal age were collected by the status quo method on a sample of 894 schoolgirls (9-19 years of age), from the Biscay province coast (Basque Country, Spain). Logit analysis provided a mean age at menarche of 12.75 +/- 0.04 years with a standard deviation of 0.93. The result was compared with data from another previous Basque study
Somatotype related to centripetal fat patterning of 8‐ to 19‐year‐old Basque boys and girls
The association between fat distribution and Heath‐Carter anthropometric somatotypes was studied in a sample of Basque children and youth aged 8–19 years. About mid‐adolescence, mean somatotype of Basque males changed, diminishing in endomorphy and mesomorphy, and increasing slightly in ectomorphy. For the same period, reduced mesomorphy was the most striking change in the female mean somatotype; meanwhile, there was an increase in endomorphy and…

Comparative study of statural growth in Spanish populations
Regional differences in the growth of Spanish children were studied by fitting the Preece‐Baines Model I to cross‐sectional stature data. The function parameters and derived biological variables were used to compare children from seven different studies. Regional differences in growth are interpreted as a result of a geographic variation among Spanish provinces in demographic, public health and nutritional conditions. There are differences betwee…
Somatotypes of 14 to 19 years old urban boys and girls from Bilbao (Basque Country)
Age variations in sibling correlations for height, sitting height and weight
Familial correlations for height, sitting height and weight have been studied in a sample of 1278 siblings for the Biscay province (Basque Country), aged 4+ to 24+ years. The data have been internally standardized according to sex and age of individuals. The degree of resemblance among sibling has been expressed by intraclass correlation coefficients. The total sample has been divided into three age categories: or = 15 years, in order to examine …
Fat distribution in relation to sex and socioeconomic status in children 4–19 years
Fat distribution was studied in an urban sample of boys and girls 4.5 to 19.5 years from the Basque province of Biscay by means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of five skinfolds. The PCA extracted four components, which explained 99.1% of the total variance. The first principal component revealed strong stability across age and sex, and was related to a pattern of central body fat distribution. The three other components, upper-lower trunk …
Recent data about age at menarche in the biscay province (Basque Country, Spain)
Data on menarcheal age were collected by thestatus quo method on a sample of 808 schoolgirls (8–19 years of age), from the Margen Izquierda area of the Biscay province (Basque Country). Probit analysis provided a mean age at menarche of 12.5±0.05 years with a standard deviation of 1.0 years. The result was compared with data from other previous Basque studies and related to age at PHV of the same sample
Analysis of sibling resemblance in anthropometric somatotype components
We analysed the Heath-Carter somatotype familial resemblance degree in a sample of 1350 siblings (685 males and 665 females) from 634 nuclear families in the province of Biscay (Basque Country, Spain). Sibling correlations were estimated according to maximum likelihood procedures for endomorphy, mesomorphy, ectomorphy and somatotypical attitudinal distance (SADi), after having adjusted for age, sex and the two other components (Model I), and afte…
Nutritional status by socioeconomic level in an urban sample from Bilbao (Basque Country)
Anthropometry, records of food intake, and bioelectric impedance were gathered from a sample of 297 adults of both sexes who lived in marginal districts in the town of Bilbao and benefited from a program of social assistance. This survey aimed to determine present nutritional status and to ascertain the relationship between food intake and nutritional conditions. A comparative evaluation of anthropometry and food intake was then carried out using…

Evidence of Phenotypic and Social Assortative Mating for Anthropometric and Physiological Traits in Couples From the Basque Country (Spain)
This study examined 28 anthropometrical and physiological traits in 107 married couples living in the province of Biscay (Basque Country, Spain). The aim was to verify the existence of a phenotypic and/or social preference when choosing a mate. For this, correlations between pairs of spouses were estimated by maximum likelihood, and a model of familial transmission (path analysis) was applied in order to test if social homogamy between mates exis…
Genetic and environmental sources on familial transmission in Biscayan families – III. The dynamometric strength
Age trends of sibling resemblance for height, weight and BMI during growth in a mixed longitudinal sample from Sarsuna-Barisha, India
The study confirms the effect of age on the degree of similarity among siblings for height, weight and BMI in the sample. The sharp decline of correlation at adolescence can be interpreted in terms of the individual variation in age of reaching the adolescent growth spurt
Dispersion dimorphism in human populations
The aim of this paper is to verify the existence of dispersion (or variability) dimorphism in several anthropometric traits, i.e., some skeletal, muscular, and adipose dimensions, and to provide an evaluation of this scarcely considered aspect of sex differences. This research focuses on two human samples from two different European regions, Sardinia (Italy) and the Basque Country (Spain). Twenty-three anthropometric measurements were taken. A fi…
