TL;DR: It was concluded that even though all individuals were Asian Mongoloids, these regionally diverse populations exhibited significant metric differences that affect sex determination from the skeleton, confirming those of previous studies that there is a need for group specific metric standards of assessment.
TL;DR: This paper used a 2 × 4 experimental design with 145 Thai and 101 Japanese professionals to investigate the effect of cultural adaptation on attraction and outcomes when Americans adapt to Japanese and Thais, and found that for Japanese, the relationship appears monotonic positive.
Abstract: A 2 × 4 (culture of participants × degrees of cultural adaptation) experimental design with 145 Thai and 101 Japanese professionals is used to investigate the effect of cultural adaptation on attraction and outcomes when Americans adapt to Japanese and Thais. This study extends the research of Francis (1991). The curvilinear relationship between adaptation and attraction found in Francis is not replicated. For Thais, the relationship appears monotonic positive. For Japanese, it reaches a plateau beyond moderate adaptation.
TL;DR: Levels of most vascular risk factors worsened over the 12-year period between 1985 and 1997, and the associations between baseline risk factor levels and vascular mortality were consistent with those observed in other populations.
