Abstract

Objective To analyze the characteristics of body indicators of 14unidentified groups. Methods In 2006-2016, according to the "Anthropometric Method",we investigated 8 body indicators of 2989 unidentified ethnic adults (1434 males and 1555 females) in Sichuan,Yunnan,Tibet,Guizhou,Hainan,Xinjiang,and Inner Mongolia,and we had calculated and analyzed the data. Results In the male ethnic groups,the stature and sitting height of Muya,Baima Lingao and Mosuo were taller,the cresta iliaca breadth of four ethnic groups were wider.Thestature,sitting height and length of upper linb of Mang and Kongge were smaller.The stature and sitting height of Tuva,Buryats and Mosuo were taller. In the female ethnic groups,the stature,sitting height and cresta iliaca breadth of Muya,Ersu,Baima,Lingao,Buryats and Mosuo were larger.The stature and sitting height of Bajia,Deng,Gejia,Mang and kongge were smaller. Stature,weight and other indicators were highly correlated with environmental factors such as latitude,annual average temperature and annualrainfall. Conclusion The body characteristics of Muya, Ersu, Baima and Mosuo are relatively close. The body characteristics of the Deng, Bajia and Gejia are relatively close. The Mang and Kongge have the closest body characteristics.
