CRF is considered a strong predictor of health outcomes. However, cardiorespiratory fitness levels of children and adolescents are declining.Aims: (1) To analyse the cardiorespiratory fitness levels of children and adolescents in China, focusing on maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), maximum heart rate (HRmax), peak oxygen uptake (Peak VO2) and 20-metre shuttle run test (20 m-SRT). (2) To provide baseline data, with the goal of supporting the development of sports programs, intervention strategies, and public health decision-making.Subjects and methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using 30 studies selected from five databases.Results: The average performance on 20 m-SRT for Chinese children and adolescents was 34.67 laps, with a VO2max of 46.47 ml/kg/min, HRmax of 195.02 bpm, and Peak VO2 of 48.58 ml/kg/min. Boys outperformed girls in VO2max, 20 m-SRT, and HRmax, although the differences in HRmax and Peak VO2 were not statistically significant. Tibetan children showed better performance than Han children in three indicators with no significant differences found.Conclusion: Cardiorespiratory fitness in Chinese children and adolescents is within a healthy range but not optimal. Boys generally perform better than girls, and Tibetan children outperform Han children.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 1","pages":"2459141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484578","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}

The molar lengths and proportions of Homo luzonensis are comparable to H. floresiensis, suggesting that these taxa were similar in size.Conclusion: Geologically older hominid taxa tend to have relatively longer third molars and smaller endocranial volumes. We discuss the effects of growth rates on the dentition and explore the hypothesis that both H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis represent short-statured populations that evolved on islands via insular nanism and postnatal growth restriction.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 sup1","pages":"2512027"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530908","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}

The assessment classified specimens as \"Pre-Adult\" based on dental, cranial, and postcranial maturity indicators, following established methodologies.Results: Of the 3,277 catalogued specimens in the Wits hominin collections, 650 entries (19.8%) were identified as immature, representing three genera: Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo. These findings were analysed by site, element type, and specimen associations. Notable insights include pre-adult remains of Australopithecus from Malapa, Sterkfontein and Makapansgat, Paranthropus from Drimolen and Kromdraai, and Homo from Rising Star. The variability in accessioning practices, fragmentary preservation, and ongoing research influenced the completeness of the inventory, highlighting challenges in catalogue standardisation and fossil classification.Conclusions: This comprehensive catalogue of immature fossils provides a critical resource for investigating morphological variation, life history traits, and evolutionary adaptations across hominin genera. It underscores the significance of South African fossil collections in exploring developmental patterns and evolutionary pathways leading to the extended life cycle characteristic of Homo sapiens.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 sup1","pages":"2512026"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530907","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}

Multivariate methods offer a promising approach to compare taxon-specific patterns.Aim: This study used multivariate statistical approaches to compare ontogenetic patterns by more comprehensively quantifying variation in crypt and tooth formation scores for the permanent dentition in five catarrhine primate taxa, Homo sapiens, Pan paniscus, Pan troglodytes, Hylobates lar, and Papio anubis.Subjects and methods: Tooth formation was scored according to published standards for each specimen. Multivariate relationships between teeth were modelled according to a Bayesian multivariate cumulative probit model. Relationships among and between teeth were summarised with correlation matrices, variable loadings plots, and the Frobenius norm. Univariate boxplots were used to contextualise and check the biological salience of the multivariate results.Results: H. sapiens results corroborate previous research and show a degree of modularity that separates early forming and later-forming teeth. All four other species may show broad correlative patterns, but clear biological patterns are masked due to small sample sizes and/or sample composition.Conclusion: Even with careful application of statistical procedures, ontogenetic inferences are only as good as the data are comprehensive.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"52 sup1","pages":"2512024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530910","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}
