Association of taller stature with lower cardiovascular disease mortality in Asian people: a systematic review

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2019
Background Adult height can serve as a disease marker. While taller stature has been reported to be linked to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), an influence of the height on CVD is not fully understood in specific populations of Asia ...

Comparisons between wrinkles and photo-ageing detected and self-reported by the participant or identified by trained assessors reveal insights from Chinese individuals in the Singapore/Malaysia Cross-sectional Genetics Epidemiology Study (SMCGES) cohort

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Changes develop on the facial skin as a person ages. Other than chronological time, it has been discovered that gender, ethnicity, air pollution, smoking, nutrition, and sun exposure are notable risk factors that influence the development of ...

Prediction of success in sports based on assumed individual genetic predisposition: lack of association with the C > T variant in the ACTN3 gene

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Prediction of sports success (sports talent) based on individual genetic characteristics is the main goal of sports genetics/genomics. Most often, markers of predisposition to speed-strength sports, or endurance, are single-nucleotide variants

Association between underweight, serum albumin levels, and height loss in the Japanese male population: a retrospective study

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Previous study has shown that height loss (defined as the highest quartile of height loss per year) was inversely associated with serum albumin levels. Furthermore, comparatively healthy hyponutrition has been linked with being underweight; as

Local alternating heat and cold stimulation affects hemodynamics and oxygenation in fatigued muscle tissue and autonomic nervous activity: a single-arm interventional study

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Local alternating heat and cold stimulation as an alternative to contrast bath may cause intermittent vasoconstriction and vasodilation, inducing a vascular pumping effect and consequently promoting increased tissue blood flow and oxygenation.

Advances in research on thermogenic substances

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
In mammals, a constant body temperature is maintained for survival in cold environments, primarily through the activation of thermogenic mechanisms. In this review, we discussed the advances in research on cold-adaptive thermogenic substances and their ...

Short latency afferent inhibition differs with load type during isometric finger abduction

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Static muscle contraction involves two distinct load types. One type, called a position task, entails holding the limb in a fixed position while counteracting an inertial load, while the other type, known as a force task, involves exerting a ...
