Visceral-to-peripheral adiposity ratio: a critical determinant of sex and ethnic differences in cardiovascular risks among Asian Indians and African Creoles in Mauritius. Coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality are higher in people of South Asian origin than in those of African origin. We investigated whether as young adults without diabetes, people in Mauritius of South Asian descent
Exploring determinants of sex and family history-based disparity in type 2 diabetes mellitus prevalence among clinical patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a multifaceted disorder characterized by intricate pathophysiological mechanisms, encompassing diminished insulin secretion, augmented hepatic glucose production, and heightened insulin resistance. This study aims to assess the sex
Genetic, Molecular, and Cellular Determinants of Sex-Specific Cardiovascular Traits. Despite the well-known sex dimorphism in cardiovascular disease traits, the exact genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of these differences are not well understood. A growing body of evidence currently points at the links between cardiovascular disease traits and the genome, epigenome, transcriptome
Sex determination, gonadal sex differentiation, and plasticity in vertebrate species. A diverse array of sex determination () mechanisms, encompassing environmental to genetic, have been found to exist among vertebrates, covering a spectrum from fixed mechanisms (mammals) to functional sex change in fishes (sequential hermaphroditic fishes). A major landmark in vertebrate was the discovery
Estimating misreporting in condom use and its determinants among sex workers: Evidence from the list randomisation method. Social desirability bias, which is the tendency to underreport socially undesirable health behaviours, significantly distorts information on sensitive behaviours gained from self-reports. We applied the list randomisation method to indirectly elicit condom use among female
Female-Bias in a Long-Term Study of a Species with Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination: Monitoring Sex Ratios for Climate Change Research. Alterations have occurred and continue to manifest in the Earth's biota as a result of climate change. Animals exhibiting temperature dependent sex determination (TSD), including sea turtles, are perhaps most vulnerable to a warming of the Earth as highly
Transitions in sex determination and sex chromosomes across vertebrate species Despite the prevalence of sexual reproduction across eukaryotes, there is a remarkable diversity of sex-determination mechanisms. The underlying causes of this diversity remain unclear, and it is unknown whether there are convergent trends in the directionality of turnover in sex-determination mechanisms. We used
Determination of sex differences of human cadaveric mandibular condyles using statistical shape and trait modeling. The objective of this study was to elucidate sex differences in the anatomy of human temporomandibular joint mandibular condyles using a statistical shape and trait model (SSTM). Mandibles were obtained from 16 human cadavers (79±13years). The condyles were scanned using micro condyles, with complex differences in the microstructural traits. Two out of 15 principal components were statistically different between males and females (p<0.1). The lasso approach determined a set of 7 principal components that fully described the complex shape and trait differences between males and females. A SSTM was able to determinesex-dependent differences in the shape of the mandibular

Determining If Sex Bias Exists in Human Surgical Clinical Research. Sex is a variable that is poorly controlled for in clinical research. To determine if sex bias exists in human surgical clinical research, to determine if data are reported and analyzed using sex as an independent variable, and to identify specialties in which the greatest and least sex biases exist. For this bibliometric
Computer-assisted sperm morphometry fluorescence-based analysis has potential to determine progeny sex This study was designed to determine the ability of computer-assisted sperm morphometry analysis (CASA-Morph) with fluorescence to discriminate between spermatozoa carrying different sex chromosomes from the nuclear morphometrics generated and different statistical procedures in the bovine
Physical Activity Patterns of the Spanish Population Are Mostly Determined by Sex and Age: Findings in the ANIBES Study Representative data for the Spanish population regarding physical activity (PA) behaviors are scarce and seldom comparable due to methodological inconsistencies. Our objectives were to describe the PA behavior by means of the standardized self-reported International Physical
Gender-specific mortality in DTP-IPV- and MMR ± MenC-eligible age groups to determine possible sex-differential effects of vaccination: an observational study. Several studies suggested that vaccines could have non-specific effects on mortality depending on the type of vaccine. Non-specific effects seem to be different in boys and girls. In this study we want to investigate whether
approved to determine fetal sex and screen for fetal aneuploidy, including trisomies 13 (Patau syndrome), 18 (Edward syndrome), and 21 (Down syndrome) in high-risk and average-risk pregnancies.6 At any given maternal age, the rate of common trisomies is similar between singleton and twin pregnancies, and cfDNA screening provides higher predictive values among twin pregnancies compared to traditional
. Final adult height was also determined by sex for this cohort.Age-specific mean weights were estimated separately by sex, using a penalized cubic-spline approach. Sex-specific separate upper and lower standard deviation values for weight were computed for values above and below the mean to address rightward skewness in weight measures. The “upper standard deviation” refers to age-specific standard

; SMFM 2016). ACOG (2020) recognizes that NIPT is the only screening test with the ability to identify fetal sex and sex chromosome aneuploidy, and several large validation studies have demonstrated the sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for determining fetal sex and sex chromosome aneuploidies such as Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). However, these studies have indicated
