APPENDIX 9
ANTHROPOMETRIC STUDY OF ADULT MARSHALLESE
-
Albert R. Behnke, Jr., M.D.
Unifying Principle Underlying Anthroposetric Measurements.
F, a factor derived from Vapor is proportional to the sum of 11 circum
ferences,and the sum of the ll circumferences divided by F is a biologic
constant, approximately 195 (194 to 197) for widely differing groups of males.
If the mean value for each measurement is divided by F, then the quotient
(Mean/F or d) can be used for comparison of measurements.
The d values are
the raw measurements converted to a common basis for comparison of relative
body size.
