Abstract:

Objective To investigate the body morphological traits of Oroqen adults in Heilongjiang province. Methods On the base of the informed consent, 157 Oroqen adults(male 75, female 82) from Tahe County and Huma nationality village, Heilongjiang province were randomly selected for the study. Followed the somatometric measurements, we measured thirty-four traits about trunk and limbs including shoulder tip height, suprasternal height and so on, calculated nine classificational indices of the body. Results There were significant differences in body features about Heilongjiang Oroqen between males and females, except pelvic breadth and chest depth. Males were higher, females were shorter. Both males and females belonged to wide shoulder type, long trunk type, wide pelvis type, hyperbrachyskelic. Conclusion Compared with Inner Mongolia Oroqen, the leg of Oroqen in Heilongjiang is shorter, pelvis wider, shoulder wider.These differences may be related to the local climate.
