Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

342
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Conservation of Small Populations

17.3K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

What is Population Genetics?

64.7K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Population Growth

28.6K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Summary

White children and adolescents show lower bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) compared to Black children. Other racial and ethnic groups also exhibit lower bone mass than Black children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Bone Health
  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health
  • Skeletal Development

Background:

  • Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) are crucial indicators of skeletal health.
  • Understanding racial and ethnic variations in bone mass during childhood and adolescence is essential for accurate health assessments.
  • Previous research has suggested potential differences in bone mass across diverse populations.

Conclusions:

  • White children and adolescents generally have lower bone mass (aBMD/BMC) than their Black counterparts.
  • Racial and ethnic groups that do not include Black individuals tend to have lower bone mass compared to Black children and adolescents.
  • No significant differences in bone mass were consistently found between White children and adolescents and their Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Mexican-American peers.
