Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the feature and physical growth patterns of the Tujia nationality children and adolescents in Wuling mountain area. Methods According to the anthropometric method, seventeen physical development items for 1865 Tujia
children and adolescents（953 males and 912 females）in Wuling mountain area were investigated, and eleven physical indexes were calculated by formula．Results The characteristic of growth development of Tujia children and adolescents was that the
mean value of measuring items gradually increased with age. The growth curves of both Tujia boys and girls were on the rise and appeared crossover phenomenon. The age at peak height velocity was at 11-13 years old for boys while 9 and 11-12 years old
for girls. The age changing law of physical development indexes of Tujia children and adolescents were similar to that of other nationalities, while there were differences in the development degree of physical body. Conclusion The physical development
of Tujia children and adolescents is in conformity with the general growth pattern，there is gender difference in physical development between male and female of Tujia children and adolescents, and the physical development of Tujia children and
adolescents is relatively behind the development of Han and other nationalities.
