TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the ratio between the length of the 2nd and 4th digit (2D:4D) is sexually dimorphic, with mean male 2D: 4d lower than mean female 2d:4d higher, suggesting male choice for a correlate of high ratio in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index, waist to hip ratio and waist/height in adult Polish women in relation to their education, place of residence, smoking and alcohol consumption.
TL;DR: The results confirm the relationship between low social status and the risk of overweight and obesity as observed in developed countries and the usefulness of simple and practical anthropometric indicators such as WHR and W/Ht for the identification of the higher risk of future metabolic diseases in obese people and those with a normal body mass.

TL;DR: Preschool boys with ADHD (age of 2-6 years) have a tendency toward lower body weight than their peers but in subsequent phases of development, they are shorter and more frequently overweight than boys without ADHD, when place of residence, socioeconomic status, term of birth, birth weight, comorbid conditions, and treatment are controlled.
