✦ Synopsis

The 1,589 low-income adult subjects of primarily African ancestry (American Negroes or "Blacks") showed systematically less sexual dimorphism in total subperiosteal area (TA), medullary area (MA) and cortical area (CA) than did 4,379 low-income adult subjects of European derivation ("Whites"). These systematic findings have implications both to the sexing of skeletal remains from diverse populations and to an understanding of population divergences in bone remodeling.

## Abstract The present study is the first describing sexual dimorphism in the pelves of prosimian primates. Various measurements and indices indicate that there is no significant sexual dimorphism in the pelves of African lorises (__Perodicticus potto__ and __Arctocebus calabarensis__). The lack o

## Abstract ## Objective Large‐scale genetic association studies have identified >20 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk alleles among individuals of European ancestry. The influence of these risk alleles has not been comprehensively studied in African Americans. We therefore sought to examine whether
