Abstract

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.
