Sexual dimorphism in body composition across human populations: Associations with climate and proxies for short- and long-term energy supply

摘要

Sexual dimorphism in human stature, physique, and adiposity is well established, but the ecological factors that account for its variability remain unknown. This study aimed to describe population variability in body composition dimorphism, and to test whether annual temperature and proxies for population energy supply accounted for this variability.
