Percentage pelvic sexual size dimorphism (sex with larger mean/sex with lower mean*100%) is used to infer selection for obstetric adaptation. As pelvic size is associated with body size, interpretation of percentage sexual size dimorphism necessitates control of body size. This study uses a larger sample of 221 females and 204 males to identify a subsample of females and males matched for femoral length, femoral head diameter, and clavicular length (25 females, 46 males). For five measures of the pelvic inlet, the human sample with control of body size is compared with three primate species that are sexually monomorphic in body size and give birth to newborns with higher relative body masses than those of humans: <i>Aotus azarae</i> (15 females, 19 males), <i>Hylobates lar</i> (29 females, 29 males), and <i>Saguinus geoffroyi</i> (28 females, 30 males). Results show that humans (112.0%) have the highest percentage sexual size dimorphism of pelvic inlet circumference: <i>A. azarae</i> (108.2%), <i>H. lar</i> (105.4%), and <i>S. geoffroyi</i> (103.3%). Humans have higher sexual size dimorphism of inlet circumference despite lower relative newborn body mass compared to the other species because human newborns are of larger body mass than predicted for an anthropoid with our adult female body mass. In humans, birthing of bigger babies than predicted for our body mass increases selection pressure on females for enlargement of the pelvic inlet.</p>","PeriodicalId":46008,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologischer Anzeiger","volume":"79 2","pages":"127-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39529636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BMIs increased, on average, across the four surveys, but differences between adjacent surveys varied. Prevalence of severe and moderate thinness was low in both sexes, while mild thinness tended to decline over time, more so among girls. Overweight and obesity increased over time, especially in 2006 and 2016 compared to 1986 and 1996. In conclusion, secular changes in the BMI between 1986 and 2016 were significant.

The survey examined anthropometric indicators of fat tissue amount in the population of adult males and females from Slovenia from 1950 to 2019. <i>Methods:</i> From a large anthropometric database body height, body mass, seven circumferences (C: waist, hip, relaxed and flexed upper arm, forearm, middle thigh, medial calf) and seven skinfold thicknesses (SFT: triceps, biceps, subscapular, iliac crest, supraspinale, front thigh and medial calf) were obtained in different combinations for more than 3400 males and almost 4600 females of age 18 to 29 years, measured in the years between 1950 and 2019.
