Cardiovascular factors explain genetic background differences in V[O.sub.2]max

Article Abstract:

Factors are explored that may be related to ethnic differences in the maximum rate at which an individual can consume oxygen (V[O.sub.2]max) between selected African American and European American women, matched for body weight and fat-free mass. Results suggest that mitochondrial muscle oxidative capacity and oxygen delivery capabilities, as determined by submaximal oxygen pulse ([o.sub.2]P submax), account for most of the ethnic differences in V[O.sub.2]max.

Risk factors for hysterectomy among Mexican-American women in the U.S. Southwest

Article Abstract:

The assessment of risk factors associated with a history of hysterectomy among Mexican-American women, living in the United States Southwest, was the purpose of this study. It was found that women who spoke Spanish or any other language, apart from English, were less likely to have a hysterectomy.

Validating signals of ovulation: Do women who think they know, really know?

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to test whether women who think they know when they ovulate, really know. The results demonstrated a low degree of concordance between luteinizing hormone surge and perceived ovulation among women who think they know when they ovulate.
