本文对773名（男379人，女394人）生活在贵州的布依族进行活体观察和测量（观察项目28个，测量项目64个）。调查对象年龄20-55岁三代均为布依族。分析结果表明：布依族中头型多见；男性多为中面型，女性以阔面型为主；属阔鼻型；亚中等偏矮型身材。布依族与我国南方其他29个民族群体10项头面部体部测量数据聚类分析，结果显示布依族的体质特征与广西壮族、海南黎族最为接近，与湖南土家族、瑶族、贵州苗族、广西彝族次之，与湖南侗族、贵州毛南族、白裤瑶较远。布依族属蒙古人种南亚类型，具有现代黄种人的容貌特征。

A survey of somatoscopic and anthropometric traits of 773 adults (379 males and 394 females) of Bouyei nationality between ages 20 and 55 years living in Guizhou was carried out in July 2003.Twenty-eight observations and 64 measurements were made on this sample of parents and grandparents.The results of the survey are summarized as follows:The average stature of Bouyei nationality males is 1 602.42 mm,and females is 1 504.04mm.In both of sexes,arm span is longer than that stature.Most of the individuals belong to a mesocephalic body shape,mesoproscopy for males,euryproscopy for females,platyrrhiny.The stature of these people is sub-medium and short.The Bouyei nationality clearly belongs to the South Asian type of the Mongoloid race.On a comparative basis of the Bouyei with 29 other minorities groups living in southern China,the physical character of the Bouyei is most closely related to the Zhuang in Guangxi,Li in Hainan,and is similar to those of the Tujia,Yao in Hunan,and Yi in Guangxi.It is remotely related to the Dong in Hunan,Maonan in Guizhou,and the Baiku Yao living in Libo county of Guizhou and Nandan county of Guangxi.
