贵州革家人的体型

采用Heath-Carter人体测量法对家人成人311例(男159例,女152例)进行了体型研究。研究发现,家人男性的体型平均数为3.4-4.8-2.1,属于偏内胚层的中胚层体型;女性体型均数为4.9-4.7-1.3,属于内胚层-中胚层均衡型。家人性别间5个年龄组体型差异均具有统计学意义。随年龄增长,男性内因子值趋于变小,而且年龄组间内因子值具有明显差异。男性中因子、外因子与年龄均不相关,年龄组间中因子、外因子值的差异亦无统计学意义。女性内因子与年龄呈负相关,中因子、外因子与年龄均不具有相关(P>0.05)。内因子、中因子、外因子值在不同年龄组间的的差异具有统计学意义。家人男性与云南汉族、布依族、客家人、僜人、广西汉族体型接近,家人女性与客家人、怒族、僜人、侗族体型最为接近。在中国南方族群中,家人身体脂肪含量较多,骨骼、肌肉含量中等,身体相对粗壮些。家人与生活在南方的汉族族群体型相对接近。

A study on the somatotypes of the Gejia people in Guizhou Province

The somatotypes of 311 Gejia adults (159 males and 152 females) in Guizhou were studied using the Heath-Carter somatotyping method. The results suggest that the endomorphmesomorph somatotype in both males and females are similar, but that males are more mesomophic, in contrast to females that lie between endomorphs and mesomorphs. Mean somatotype values were males: 3.4-4.8-2.1 and females: 4.9-4.7-1.3. Gender differences in somatotypes were statistically significant in all five age groups but with increased age, male endomorphic values became smaller and there were significant differences in somatotypes between age groups. Male mesomorphic and ectomorphic types were not related to age, and there were no significant age differences in mesomorphic and ectomorphic somatotypes in males. Female endomorphic values were negatively correlated with age, while mesomorphic and ectomorphic types were not related to age in females (P>0.05). The differences were statistically significant within age groups in all three somatotypes. Our research shows that the Gejia male somatotype is close to Han in Yunnan, Bouyei, Hakka and Deng, while the female type is close to Hakka, Nu, Deng and Dong. Among southern Chinese ethnic groups, Gejia adults have relatively more fat, average bone mass and muscle mass, and appear more robust. The Gejia somatotype living in Guizhou is relatively close to the Han ethnic groups living in South China.
