ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTIC OF BODY PROPORTIONALITY IN THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF KRASNOYARSK

The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate body proportionality in 417 men and 642 women of the different age groups: juvenile, I and II periods of mature age, and elderly age, living in the city of Krasnoyarsk. Anthropometric studies were conducted with the determination of longitudinal and width dimensions of the body. The significant differences between the proportionality parameters were detected in men. Young men were tall, had narrow shoulders and pelvis, their trunk had rectangular shape. Hands were proportional to the body length, the torso and legs were elongated. Mature and aged men were of medium height, had wide pelvis and trapezoid-shaped trunk. Both torso and legs were proportional to to the body length.
No statistically significant differences between the parameters, defining the body proportions, were found in the women of different age groups. The correlation coefficients were determined between the body length and the parameters characterizing longitudinal and transverse sizes of the body of the individuals examined.
