Abstract

The Heath-Carter method was used to study the somatotype of 515 aboriginal Dong adult individuals(254 males and 261 females) aged 20 to 60 in Sanjiang County of Guangxi.The results were:1)The mean somatotypes in male 2.2\_4.5\_2.4 and female 4.3\_4.2\_1.5 are balanced mesomorph and endomorph-mesomorph,respectively.2)Very significant sexual difference is found in adult's (somatotype) of Dong nationality(P0.001) while SAD and T are 2.33 and 11.9 respectively.3)Compared with the data home and abroad,the somatotype ratings of Dong males and females are medium in the endomorphy,ectomorphy and mesomorphy component except those of Dong females are low in the (ectomorphy).
