目的  探讨塔吉克族成人的体型特征及变化规律。   方法  应用Ｈeath-Carter体型方法对280（男性124，女性156）例塔吉克族成人进行体型判定。   结果  塔吉克族男性与女性的平均体型值分别为4.3-3.1-1.8和7.0-3.1-1.1，均为偏中胚层的内胚层体型。塔吉克族外因子与年龄成显著负相关，塔吉克族女性内因子、中因子与年龄成显著正相关，塔吉克族男性内因子、中因子与年龄不相关。随年龄增长，女性年龄组间的体型差异较男性更明显。   结论  塔吉克族骨骼肌肉量较少，女性体脂发达，与藏族等高原人群和阿尔泰语系其他人群的体型有差异。

Objective  To explore the somatotype characteristics and changing rules of Tajik adults.    Methods  The Heath-Carter body type method  was used to determine the body size of 280 (124 males and 156 females) Tajik adults.    Results  The average body size of Tajik males and females were 4.3-3.1-1.8 and 7.0-3.1-1.1, respectively, and both are mesomorphic endomorphy.The ectomorphy of Tajik nationality were negatively correlated with age, female endomorphy and mesomorphy were positively correlated with age, while endomorphy and mesomorphy were not correlated with age. With increasing age, the difference in body shape between female age groups was more obvious than that of males.     Conclusion The Tajik have less skeletal muscle mass, and women have developed body fat, which is different from the Tibetan people and other people in the Altaic language family.
