All participants' (23 male college athletes) kicks were aimed at nose height.Results: The results indicate that K exhibited distinct COM trajectories in left-right and front-back directions during front kicks, whereas differences of COM lateral displacement during kicking moments existed across all groups. P demonstrated greater COP movements in forward, backward, left, and right directions. Long-term training in different skills affected mechanisms of body control during the kicking technique. K and D tended to prioritise maintaining vertical stability, upward power output, and efficient movements to ensure rapid, accurate striking while maintaining balance and stability, whereas P emphasised the horizontal posture, flexibility, expressive qualities, and artistry of their movements, which may be involving more body sway and adjustments during competitions.Conclusions: Athletes in different skill groups should develop personalised training plans tailored to their specific skill characteristics and competition demands. These plans aim to enhance the movement control abilities of athletes in various disciplines, ensuring they can deliver optimal performance during competitions.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 1","pages":"2461132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143494439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We further assessed the role of marital status and race.Methods: We included people who gave birth between 2016-2019 in one of the coastal communities impacted by Hurricane Florence (n = 7,240). We used multiple logistic regression to determine the effects of period (hurricane or pre-hurricane) and trimester and their respective interactions on birth outcomes controlling for key demographic variables.Results: Individuals in their first trimester during the hurricane had a greater likelihood of having low-birthweight, low-APGAR, or preterm babies compared to those in the same community a year earlier and those in later trimesters during the hurricane. Unmarried individuals in their first trimester during the hurricane were particularly at risk for low-birthweight neonates.Conclusion: Increased prenatal stress associated with disasters disrupts first trimester foetal development across all groups but is most pronounced in unmarried individuals.

Identifying differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (DEIRGs) could help improve early diagnosis and treatment strategies for DKD.Aim: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a complication of diabetes that can progress to end-stage renal disease. Early diagnosis and identification of biomarkers related to its pathogenesis are crucial. This study aims to investigate the role of ferroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, in DKD, which remains largely unexplored.Objective: The objective of this study was to screen for diagnosis-related DEIRGs (DDEIRGs) in DKD and construct a diagnostic model with high accuracy.Method: We intersected differentially expressed genes in the DKD dataset with ferroptosis-related genes to obtain DEIRGs. Gene importance was ranked using the random forest and Adaboost algorithms, and DDEIRGs were identified by intersecting results. A diagnostic model was constructed using logistic regression, and its accuracy was evaluated. Additionally, the immune landscape of DDEIRGs was analysed, and RT-qPCR was used to validate gene expression levels.Results: The diagnostic model constructed with logistic regression demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for DKD. Immune landscape analysis of DDEIRGs provided further insights into their potential roles. RT-qPCR confirmed the differential expression of diagnosis-related genes.Conclusion: This study successfully identified diagnosis-related ferroptosis genes in DKD and constructed an accurate diagnostic model. These findings enhance our understanding of the role of ferroptosis in DKD and may contribute to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 1","pages":"2477248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MTHFR C677T/A1298C and MTRR A66G genetic polymorphisms were evaluated.Results: A total of 24 papers were included in our research, including 3649 H-type hyperpietics, 2772 non-H-type hyperpietics, and 2149 healthy controls. Our analysis shows that MTHFR C677T polymorphism showed significant association with H-type hypertension in both healthy individuals and non-H-type hyperpietics (TT vs. CC: OR = 3.43, 95% CI = 2.48-4.75). Further subgroup analysis based on geography revealed that homocysteine levels in the southern Chinese population were more susceptible to MTHFR C677T polymorphism (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant association in all genetic models for the polymorphisms of MTHFR A1298C and MTRR A66G.Conclusion: MTHFR C677T polymorphisms are associated with H-type hypertension in non-H-type hyperpietics and healthy individuals.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 1","pages":"2486165"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Height and weight were measured, with BMI calculated. Underweight was determined using Cole's cut-off points, while short stature was defined as height below -2 standard deviations from the mean for age and sex.Results: For girls, the prevalence of underweight remained stable at approximately 9.5% from 1938 to 2020, peaking in 1983, particularly during puberty, before declining in subsequent cohorts. In boys, underweight prevalence varied more, from 5.6% in 1938 to 11.1% in 1983, with a steady decline thereafter. Short stature prevalence for both sexes remained low (1.5-2.5%) and unchanged over 85 years.Conclusion: Underweight prevalence increased significantly from 1938 to 1983, reflecting adverse environmental conditions, but has decreased in the last four decades, highlighting socioeconomic influences.

Here we evaluate associations between wet-bulb temperature and daily breastfeeding patterns in a rural community in Bangladesh.Subjects and methods: We used 23 months of daily time-diary data from 68 maternal-child dyads and regional wet-bulb temperatures to test the hypothesis that increased heat and humidity negatively influence breastfeeding outcomes among Shodagor fisher-traders.Results: We found that higher wet-bulb temperatures predicted reduced daily breastfeeding time allocation, particularly among fishers, and drove shifts towards increased night-time and decreased mid/late morning feeding. Maternal occupation and the interaction of child age with heat strongly influenced diurnal breastfeeding patterns.Conclusion: These results highlight an important role of maternal work on infants' vulnerability to environmental stress. Dyads' ability to behaviourally compensate for extreme heat may be constrained by extended heatwaves, humidity, and economic circumstances, suggesting that climate change will likely exacerbate heat-related risks to global child health going forward.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 1","pages":"2461709"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
