Comparative genetic variance and heritability of dental occlusal variables in U.S. and Northwest Indian twins.
TL;DR: Genetic variance analysis of 15 dental occlusal and arch variables is based on cross-cultural comparison of twin variances (U.S. Whites and Northwest Indian Punjabis).
Journal ArticleDOI
Age at menarche in relation to adult body size and physique.
TL;DR: The relationship of early and late menarche with adult body dimensions has been studied on a sample of 147 young adult women drawn from an urban Punjabi population of Chandigarh and Ludhiana and indicates that there is a biological determinant of the observed association between menarchesal age and fatness and adult body size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic basis of human female pelvic morphology: a twin study.
TL;DR: Bitrochanteric breadth had the highest magnitude of cultural heritability, indicating that cultural factors played an important role in determining hip breadth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and correlates of susceptibility to motion sickness.
Krishan Sharma,Aparna +1 more
TL;DR: The roadway buses and trucks proved more effective passive transportation types that caused sickness and the voluntary stabilization of the head and neck movements and gaze control proved very effective natural measures adopted by 38% subjects to avoid or limit motion sickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A family study of anthropometric traits in a Punjabi community: I. Introduction and familial correlations
TL;DR: Data on 40 anthropometric measurements from 144 nuclear families in Chandigarh, India, are presented, and twin correlations seem to indicate a higher level of heritability than correlations from other family members.
