苗族成人体型研究

目的：探讨我国苗族成人体型特点与规律。方法：应用Heath-Carter人体测量法，对广西隆林县德蛾乡456例20～55岁苗族成人体型进行了研究。结果：(1)苗族平均体型男性为均衡的中胚层体型(1．9—4．7—1．9)，女性为偏内胚层的中胚层体型(3.2—4.2—1.3)；(2)苗族男、女20～50岁间随着年龄增加，中因子值明显增加，外因子值略有减少，内因子值变化不大，中因子值的最大值及外因子值的最小值均在45岁组；(3)苗族男女间体型各年龄组差异极高度显著；结论：苗族与其他群体体型比较，苗族体脂较少，骨骼肌肉较发达，身体线性度较低。

Heath-Carter method study of adult Miao nationality

Objective :To study the somatotype character of the aboriginal Miao adults. Methods : The Heath-Carter so-matotype method was applied to study the adult somatotype of 456 aboriginal Miao people (229 males, 227 females) ranging from 20 to 55 years old in Ronglin county of Guangxi. Results : (l)The mean somatotype of males belonged to Balanced Mesomorph category (1.9-4.7-1.9), while that of females belonged to Endomorphic mesomoph category (3.2-4.2-1.3); (2) The value of Mesomorph increasd with aging, while that of the Endomorph had no changes. The maximum value of Mesomorph and the mixinum value of Ectomorph both existed in 45 old group. (3) Each group had significant sexual difference in the somatotype. Conclusion : Compared with the somatotype of other groups, the Miao has less fat with developed skeleton muscles and lower body linear degree.
