目的 探讨海南城市汉族体型特征。方法 采用Heath-Carter 人体测量体型方法，对海南文昌城市汉族成年人315例（男为150例,女为165例）进行体型评定。结果 1.海南城市汉族平均体型男性为内胚层-中胚层均衡体型（4.9-5.3-2.0），女性为偏中胚层的内胚层体型（5.5-4.6-1.9）。2.随着年龄的增长，男性内因子值、中因子值显著增长，外因子值下降，尤以30岁前后这种变化最突出。女性体型30~39岁时较20~29岁身体的充实度有所提高，40~49岁以后则更加结实、丰满。3.男女间体型除20~29、30~39岁组存在显著性差异外，40~49岁以后男女体型差异不显著。4.与其他城市族群比较，海南城市汉族男女平均体型点与山东汉族最接近（男性SAD=0.60，女性SAD=0.40）。结论 海南城市汉族体型接近于中国北方族群。

Objective To study the somatotype of urban of Han in Hainan.Methods The Heath-Carter somatotyping method was used to study the somatotype of 315 urban adults (150 males and 165 females) of Han in Wenchang county of Hainan province. Results 1. The mean somatotype values of the male and female were 4.9-5.3-2.0 and 5.5-4.6-1.9 in urban districts respectively, which represented the endomorph-mesomorph category in the male and mesomorphic endomorph category in the female. 2. With their age increasing, the values of endomorphy and mesomorphy were ascending, while the values of ectomorphy were decreased in urban males. The age of 30 was the cutoff point of somatotype in urban males. In female, the age of 30 had increased plumpness of the body over the age of 20. The age of 40 became firmer and plumper. 3. The urban adults of Han showed most significant gender differences in the age of 20 and 30.But there was no significant gender differences after 40 years. 4. The somatotype of urban adults was close to those of Han(Shandong). Conclusion The somatotype of urban adults of Han in Hainan is close to northern ethnic groups in China.
