“…This could also be due to the undernutrition and other environmental pressures prevalent in the community as they vastly influence the physique and body composition (Kansal, 1981;Rangan, 1982;Tanner and Whitehouse, 1982;Eiben, 1985). Lower socio-economic classes have less heightweight ratio (HWR) than the upper socioeconomic class and are therefore, more linear or ectomorphic as reported by Clements and Pickett (1957), Hammond (1953).…”

The present study is based on a cross-sectional investigation on 2928 samples consisting of 1503 males and 1425 females belonging to both adolescent (8 + to 18 + ) and adult age groups (19 & above). The study was carried out on the Scheduled Tribes, namely Mina, Bhil, Sahariya, Garasia, Damor and Kathodi of Rajasthan. Samples are collected from the place of residence and schools. The data for somatotype were collected following the internationally accepted standards. The calculated somatotypes are plotted on somatochart triangle to determine their physique. Study of body physique reveals that in all the tribal groups ectomorphic component is dominant, which indicates their linear physique. This is also reflective of their overall poor conditions and undernutrition prevailing in the area. Both males and females of Bhils show least endomorphy rating i.e. lowest relative fatness and highest ectomorphy rating indicating linear physique than the other tribal groups. Distribution of somatotypes on somatochart indicates that values plotted, in all the age groups, lie in mesomorphic ectomorph or endomorphic ectomorph region, thus showing a greater linearity among the tribal groups.

“…Under 6 years of age somatotype was not calculated because in early childhood it was not an adequate measure of physique [4]. Somatotype data for K-68 and K-78 have already been reported by professor Eiben [2,3].…”

“…In this summary KGS was used to illustrate the age-diff erences in the somatotypes of boys, Papers on Anthropology XXIII /2, 2014, pp. 117-121 and to demonstrate secular changes [14,3] in the physique of boys of a small town (Körmend in Hungary) between 1968 and 2008.…”

SThe Körmend Growth Study, a series of cross-sectional anthropological surveys, repeated in every 10 years since 1958, was among the firsts to demonstrate the existence of secular trends in the growth and the maturation of children. In this paper the authors give an overview on the physique of the Körmend boys based on the Körmend Growth Study. Somatotype (physique; defined according to the Heath-Carter anthropometric method) of 6-18-year-old boys, measured in 1968 (K-68) and 2008 (K-008), was analyzed and compared. Significant age-dependent changes in somatotypes were found in both study periods. Secular changes in the somatotype of boys were also observed in this West-Hungarian town.
