Age features of body proportions of Yakut women in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia)
Abstract
The study of anthropometric measures and body proportions of Yakut women from different age groups (I and II periods of middle-aged, elderly and senile age groups). The age variation of the length and proportions of women’s bodies has been established (higher parameters of body length, lower index of pelvis width, higher index of trunk length at women of the I and II middle-aged period as compared with the women of older age groups). The assessment of body proportionality of the Yakut females of the RS(Y) has identified some not age-related features: rectangle body shape and relative leg shortness. Such anthropological characteristics show that there is age and regional variability of the physical status of the population of Yakutia promoting active life in the contemporary conditions of Yakutia.
