The Circumference and its Age Variation of Rural Adultsin Mindong Languages Group

To study the circumference and its age variation of rural adults in Mindong languages group,this paper used random sampling method to measure the circumferences values of 310 adults(151 males,159 females)of Mindong languages group,including the circumference of head,neck,chest,chest circumference at inspiration,abdomen,hip,thigh,calf,biceps,fore-arm,maximum biceps.Analysis the change rule of circumference values of different age groups,and draws a comparison of the circumference values in 27 nationalities in China.The results as followed:1)the result of variance analysis showed,the male 6,female 7 circumference values,there are significant differences among age groups.2)A linear correlation analysis showed,males chest,chest circumference at inspiration,chest circumference at expiration,abdominal circumference,hip circumference,biceps circumference,biceps contract circumference,forearm circumference were positively associated with age.Head calf circumference was negatively associated with age.Females neck girth,chest circumference,chest circumference at inspiration,chest circumference at expiration biceps contract circumference,biceps circumference,abdominal circumference were positively associated with age.Head,calf circumference were negatively associated with age.3)Thigh circumference value does not exist significant differences between sexes.There was a significant difference between sexes,in the remaining 11 circumference values in gender,and males was significantly higher than that of females.Circumference values of Mindong languages group urban adult has the features of north type groups of our country.
