  • Anthropometric Measurements of Hvar Islanders and Changes in Secular Trend of Height – Evidence from the Village of Gdinj

J. Strossmayer University, School of Medicine, Osijek, Croatia 3Center of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb, Croatia ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the data on height of Hvar islanders collected from two transversal studies (1978/1979 and during the 1994). The first field research covered a total of 935 inhabitants of the island (484 males and 451 females) aged between 20 and 72 years, from five villages of the western part (Dol, Vrbanj, Svirče, Vrisnik, Pitve) and four villages of the eastern part of the island of Hvar (Poljica, Zastražišće, Gdinj, Bogomolje). The second field research was carried out in 1994 that enrolled total of 189 participants (82 males and 107 females) from the villages Dol, Vrbanj, Svirče, Zastražišće, Gdinj and Bogomolje. Comparison of data on Hvar adults since these two periods demonstrated a secular increase in average height for females and males in all investigated villages except in the village of Gdinj. Negative secular trend in village of Gdinj was observed for both female and male inhabitants. Possible explanation for this trend could be the specific migratory patterns and traditional practice of endogamy. Key words: height, secular change, Gdinj, Island of Hvar Introduction pecially suitable for bioanthropological studies due to its geographic configuration and the fact that the island is The populations of the Eastern Adriatic islands are inhabited by groups differing in origin, morphological determined by a range of distinct and turbulent migra- characteristics, way of life and some socio-cultural char- tory and historical events, specific demographic histories acteristics.

(kvatro pai, siciljana, pleskua), plesao i u Dalmaciji; kontradanse Meāutim, o plesnoj se batini nije pisalo mnogo, posebno su se plesale u Istri, Dubrovniku o istraivanju podrijetla i karaktera plesova. Zanimljivo i na Hvaru. Autorica obraāuje je da se na otoku zabiljeilo preko sedamdeset plesova dvije vrste plesa tretirajuþi ih (IvanĀan 1981:167-168).1 Postoje plesovi koji su se plesali kao rijetke primjere kontradansi: tzv. vrbovaĀku furlonu, koja je na cijelom otoku Hvaru i to gotovo po istom obrascu, zabiljeena 1960-ih godina u bez obzira na geografsku izduenost otoka i Āesto lou sredinjem dijelu otoka (Jelsa, komunikaciju izmeāu pojedinih naselja. Meāutim, po- Vrboska, Pitve), te gradsku stoje plesovi koji su se izvodili samo u veþim naseljima ili hvarsku furlanu, koja se plesala iskljuĀivo u gradu Hvaru i koja samo u gradu Hvaru. Tako je s plesom furlona/furlana, na do sada u literaturi nije bila koji sam naila u gradu Hvaru, to je povod razmiljanja zabiljeena.
