Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of bod)' circumference of Tibetan-Burman adults. Methods Using a human bod)' altimeter and a measuring tape, the height and 9 circumference indicators of 14 722 adults from 17 Tibetan-Bunnan ethnic groups in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hu ' nan and Tibet Autonomous Region were measured from 2015 to 2019, 5 circumference indexes were calculated, and the data were statistically analyzed. Results The higher the longitude, the larger the head circumference, thigh circumference, biceps circumference and foreann circumference of Tibetan-Bunnan adults and the female maximum biceps circumference, and the smaller the trunk circumferences and male calf circumference; The higher the latitude, the larger the circumferences (except for female thigh circumference); The higher the altitude, the larger the circumferences; The higher the temperature, the smaller the circumferences. Conclusion Among the 17 ethnic groups of Tibeto-Burman, the Tibetan has a larger circumference, while the Gongshan Nu, Lahu, and Drung have relatively small and close circumferences. With age, the chest and waist circumferences of Tibetan-Bunnan adults increase, and the circumference of the limbs decreases.
