MTHFR and MTRR gene polymorphisms in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infections in Zigong, Sichuan Province
CONCLUSION: The distributions of MTHFR and MRRR genetic polymorphisms in the population with HBV infections in Zigong, Sichuan Province did not differ in age and sex. The MTHFR and MRRR genetic polymorphisms were comparable between the CHB, LC, and PLC groups.PMID:38634541 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2024.2330926 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Causal relationship of genetically predicted particulate matter 2.5 level with Alzheimer's disease and the mediating effect of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate
CONCLUSION: Our findings affirm a significant causal association between PM2.5 exposure and AD, with DHEAS playing a mediating role in this relationship.PMID:38634600 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2024.2337731 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Total daily energy expenditure and elevated water turnover in a small-scale semi-nomadic pastoralist society from Northern Kenya
CONCLUSIONS: The similar mass-adjusted TEE of Daasanach and industrialised populations supports the hypothesis that habitual TEE is constrained, with physically demanding lifestyles necessitating trade-offs in energy allocation. Elevated WT in the absence of elevated TEE likely reflects a demanding active lifestyle in a hot, arid climate.PMID:38594936 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2024.2310724 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

An examination of < em > Homo naledi < /em > early juveniles recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa
CONCLUSION: Our results show that the teeth are remarkably consistent across the localities in their metric and non-metric traits, and our analyses refine previous estimations on dental eruptions with the first permanent molar erupting first in the sequence among permanent teeth.PMID:38509686 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2024.2321128 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)
