The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship in college-aged women between somatotype using both Sheldon's ('69) and Heath and Carter's ('67) procedures, and body composition, as measured by whole-body 40K counting and body density. Sheldon's endomorphy is closely associated with height and weight; Heath and Carter's first component is significantly related to weight and body fatness. Lean body mass (LBM) as a weight or as a percent is not closely related to Sheldon's mesomorphy or Heath and Carter's second component. However, when LBM and height are used as independent variables to estimate somatotype, both variables are significantly related to Heath and Carter's second component, accounting for 61% of the variance. Thus Heath and Carter's second component is significantly associated with LBM for a given body height. Most of the variation in Sheldon's ectomorphy and Heath and Carter's third component can be accounted for by weight and height. Sheldon's somatotype for all three components is not as closely related to body composition as Heath-Carter's. Body composition, as measured by either 40K counting or body density, is found to be important in accounting for variation in Heath and Carter's first and second components.
本研究的目的是确定在大学年龄女性中，使用谢尔顿（1969年）和希思与卡特（1967年）方法所测体型与通过全身40K计数和身体密度测量的身体成分之间的关系。谢尔顿的内胚层体型与身高和体重密切相关；希思与卡特的第一个成分与体重和体脂显著相关。瘦体重（LBM）作为一个重量或百分比，与谢尔顿的中胚层体型或希思与卡特的第二个成分没有密切关系。然而，当使用LBM和身高作为自变量来估计体型时，这两个变量都与希思与卡特的第二个成分显著相关，占方差的61%。因此，对于给定的身高，希思与卡特的第二个成分与LBM显著相关。谢尔顿的外胚层体型和希思与卡特的第三个成分中的大部分变异可以由体重和身高来解释。谢尔顿的所有三个成分的体型与身体成分的关系不如希思 - 卡特的密切。通过40K计数或身体密度测量的身体成分，在解释希思与卡特的第一个和第二个成分的变异方面很重要。
