By the time we reach early adulthood, our physical maturation is complete, although our height and weight may increase slightly. Those in their early twenties are probably at the peak of their physiological development, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning. The reproductive system, motor skills, strength, and lung capacity are all operating at their best.

This involved manipulating the natural landscape for food production, including clearing forests, construction of wells and irrigation ditches and exposing humans to water-borne illnesses,parasites, mosquitos and other vectors.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children’s whose BMI is at or above the 85th percentile for their age are considered overweight, while children who are at or above the 95th percentile are considered obese.

Obesity is a medical condition in which so much excess body fat has accumulated in the body that it begins to have an adverse impact on health. Sex drive is regulated by the sex hormones estrogen in women and testosterone in both women and men.

However, maintaining long-term weight loss is challenging due to biological factors like metabolism and hormonal changes. While there isn't one superior dietary strategy, the National Weight Control Registry shows successful weight loss often involves low-calorie diets and regular physical activity.

And the fundamental core of the human (or any vertebrate) body is the skeleton. Osteology, or the study of bones, is central to biological anthropology because a solid foundation in osteology makes it possible to understand all sorts of aspects of how people have lived and evolved.

Ожиріння - це медичний стан, при якому в організмі накопичилося стільки надлишкових жирових відкладень, що він починає надавати несприятливий вплив на здоров'я. Статевий потяг регулюється естрогенами статевих гормонів у жінок і тестостерону у жінок і чоловіків.

It covers risk factors like obesity and smoking, along with treatments such as CPAP devices and surgery. The text also addresses sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), emphasizing safe sleeping practices to mitigate risks for infants. Further information on causes, symptoms, and treatment options is also provided.
