The aim of this study was to investigate if there are differences in body dimensions among children from matings of different levels of exogamy. The cross-sectional sample consisted of 285 children, 136 males and 149 females, 6 to 10 years old, attending elementary schools in Tortoli, a town in east-central Sardinia. The children were divided into four groups according to the level of exogamy. One of them included the children of parents born in the same Sardinian village is highly endogamous. For each sex, the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no significant differences among the four groups of children for the 35 anthropometric variables considered, with the exception of head circumference in the male sample. In particular, there were no significant differences among the four groups of children for some anthropometric variables that are considered to be indirect indicators of nutritional status: sum of skinfolds, waist/hip ratio, body mass index, total upper arm area, upper arm muscle area, upper arm fat area. We conclude that Sardinian children from marriages of different levels of exogamy do not differ in body dimensions if they have similar nutritional conditions.
本研究的目的是调查不同外婚程度婚配所生子女的身体尺寸是否存在差异。横断面样本包括285名6至10岁的儿童，其中136名男性和149名女性，他们就读于撒丁岛中东部城镇托尔托利的小学。这些儿童根据外婚程度分为四组。其中一组包括父母出生在撒丁岛同一个村庄的儿童，这是高度内婚的。对于每种性别，Kruskal-Wallis检验显示，在考虑的35个人体测量变量中，四组儿童之间没有显著差异，但男性样本中的头围除外。特别是，对于一些被认为是营养状况间接指标的人体测量变量，四组儿童之间没有显著差异：皮褶厚度总和、腰臀比、体重指数、上臂总面积、上臂肌肉面积、上臂脂肪面积。我们得出结论，如果营养条件相似，不同外婚程度婚姻所生的撒丁岛儿童在身体尺寸上没有差异。
