全国各地に大きな被害をもたらした長梅雨がやっと終わった途端,連日の熱帯夜で,高温多湿の地に生活せざるを得ない運命とあきらめる季節が今年も巡ってきました。それにも関わらず,会員諸氏はお元気な日々をお過ごしのことと思います。
昨年末には東大の大塚柳太郎さんのお世話でケンブリッジ大学生物人類学研究室のウリアシェイク氏に講演していただきました。3月の研究会では,佐竹さんのお世話で東北大学の佐藤亨至(こうし),会員の浜田,高井の3氏にガッチリとした講演をしてもらい,大いに勉強になりました。今年の12月には私の申請が採用されてブリュッセル自由大学人類遺伝学研究室のオスピー氏が来日しますので,本分科会で講演をお願いしてあります。本人からの連絡によれば7月の段階で抄録も完成しているそうで,有能で忙しい人はこれほどまでに努力するのかと感嘆しています。来年3月の研究会は加藤則子氏にお世話いただくことになっています。
また,人類学会の立場から,成長の論文を機関誌Anthropological
Scienceにどしどし投稿されるようお願いします。
どうぞ良い夏休みでありますように!!!

Long term health concequences of early environmental factors influencing growth and development.
Stanley J, ULIJASZEK

Over the past 40 years or so, it has become clear that the effects of
environment upon the genotype are rarely simple, and often not immediately
apparent. This has become evident with the identification of a number of early
environmental factors, influencing human growth and development, having
long-term biological or behavioural consequences.
These include
relationships between the following: 1) the intrauterine environment and adult
cardiovascular disease, chronic bronchitis and hypertension (Barker, 1990) ; 2)
respiratory infection in infancy and chronic Iung disease in adult life ; and 3)
adverse experiences in childhood and adult psychosocial functioning.
Furthermore, authors have speculated about possible relationships between the
following : 1) the intrauterine environment and non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus, and schizophrenia ; 2) growth in early childhood and adult immune
aging ; and 3) environmental factors influencing adolescent growth and
development and ovarian function.
Although often describing disparate
phenomena, these observations and speculations are linked by the notion that
human developmental processes are environmentally sensitive in a variety of
ways, and the outcomes of these proccsses only become manifest in adult life, or
alternatively, appoar in childhood and persist into later life. What constitutes
an early environmental influence is therefore anything that happens before full
developmental maturity is achieved. Of relevance to this type of study is the
lifespan perspective of human development, first used to describe processes and
states in psychological development, but since broadened to encompass all
adaptive phenomena in human biology. In this sense, biological anthropologists
use the lifespan perspective to evaluate the influence of characteristics at one
stage of the life cycie upon subsequent stages. In the present context, the
lifespan perspective is limited to the influence of factors during growth and
development to different stages in adult life. including aging.
In this
presentation, the human lifespan is set in an evolutionary context, and links
are drawn between environmental influences on growth and development, and
biological and behavioural characteristics in adult life. These links are viewed
from the lifespan perspective, and examples are drawn from various areas
including physiology, epidemiology and anthropology.
