Detailed information about the development of body composition in children can help to design preventive measures to stop this trend. In the present study 1397 German children aged 6-12 complete years were investigated with anthropometric methods (i.e. height, weight, BMI, skeleton robustness, and percentage of body fat) in 2008/09. The results were compared with a 10 years old identical study. Today, the investigated children are a little bit smaller and the range of BMI and percentage of body fat is increasing. The large decrease of the skeletal robustness especially in the 10(th) and 3(rd) percentile is important. Decrease of physical activity as the most important reason for shrinking skeletal robustness is discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{VoigtScheffler2011, author = {Voigt, Andrea and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {Manual abilities of the elderly - handgrip strength, finger and thumb push strength and opening strength in age comparison}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, journal = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {2}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, doi = {10.1127/0003-5548/2011/0090}, pages = {167 -- 173}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to display the static strength capacities of healthy adults in different age categories. A total of 279 healthy German adults at the ages of 20 to 29 years, 50 to 59 years and 60 to 69 years generated their maximum static handgrip, index finger and thumb push strength, as well as their maximum opening strength on a smooth jar lid of 85 mm diameter and on a knurled bottle lid of 31 mm with their right hand. The results show larger male strength than female strength. Significant age-induced differences appear primarily in opening strengths between the age groups 20 to 29 and 50 to 59 years in male subjects and in female opening strengths between the age groups 20 to 29 and 60 to 69 years as well as between the age groups 50 to 59 and 60 to 69 years. Of greatest interest is that elderly men show the largest opening strengths.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Scheffler2011, author = {Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {How many skeletons do we need? - An evolutionary approach of the change of skeleton measures in school children in the last decade}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, booktitle = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, pages = {519 -- 519}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RietschScheffler2011, author = {Rietsch, Katrin and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {Association between skeletal robustness and physical activity in schoolchildren - First results}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, booktitle = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, pages = {516 -- 516}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LehmannTryggvadottirScheffleretal.2011, author = {Lehmann, Andreas and Tryggvadottir, Laufey and Scheffler, Christiane and Hermanussen, Michael}, title = {Menarcheal age and body height in Iceland in the last century}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, booktitle = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, pages = {507 -- 508}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GniosdorzScheffler2011, author = {Gniosdorz, Birgit and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {The variability of bone strength and skeletal robustness of young men - how it can be influenced}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, booktitle = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, pages = {497 -- 498}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BrinkmannScheffler2011, author = {Brinkmann, Stefanie and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {The relation between anthropometric measures of the body and back pain of nurses under work-related physical stress}, series = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, volume = {68}, booktitle = {Journal of biological and clinical anthropology : Anthropologischer Anzeiger ; Mitteilungsorgan der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Anthropologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0003-5548}, pages = {490 -- 491}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{VoigtScheffler2011, author = {Voigt, Andrea and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {Manual abilities of the elderly - handgrip strength, finger and thumb push strength and opening strength in age comparison}, issn = {0003-5548}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Scheffler2011, author = {Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {The change of skeletal robustness of 6 - 12 years old children in Brandenburg (Germany) - Comparison of body composition 1999 - 2009}, issn = {0003-5548}, year = {2011}, language = {en} }
