An anthropometric study of 552 Tartu city and Tartu county recruits aged 17 years was carried out. Height and weight, 33 anthropometric measurements and 12 skinfolds were measured. Body fat percentage was assessed by Omron BF 300 hand-held segmental body fat analyzer. From anthropometric measurements bone mass was derived by the Drink-water et al. (1986) equation, and total skeletal muscle mass by the Lee et al. (2000) equation. The data were systematized into five height-weight SD-classes. There were 3 classes with harmony between height and weight class: 1--small (small height and small weight), 2--medium (medium height and medium weight), 3--large (large height and large weight), 4--weight class dominating (pyknomorphic) and 5--height class dominating (leptomorphic). It was revealed that in classes 1, 2 and 3 the height and weight increase corresponded to the increase in all heights, breadths and depths, circumferences, skinfolds, body fat, muscle and bone mass. In class 4 circumferences, skinfolds, body fat and muscle mass were bigger. In class 5 all heights and the relative bone mass were bigger. The present investigation confirms the hypothesis that the five height-weight class system is applicable to seventeen-year-old recruits.
对552名17岁的塔尔图市和塔尔图县新兵进行了人体测量学研究。测量了身高、体重、33项人体测量指标和12处皮褶厚度。使用欧姆龙BF 300手持式分段体脂分析仪评估体脂百分比。根据人体测量数据，采用德林沃特等人（1986年）的公式得出骨量，采用李等人（2000年）的公式得出骨骼肌总量。数据被系统化为五个身高体重标准差类别。有3个身高体重类别协调的类别：1类——小（身高矮、体重轻），2类——中（身高中等、体重中等），3类——大（身高高、体重重），4类——体重类别占主导（矮胖型），5类——身高类别占主导（瘦长型）。结果显示，在第1、2和3类中，身高和体重的增加与所有身高、宽度、深度、周长、皮褶厚度、体脂、肌肉和骨量的增加相对应。在第4类中，周长、皮褶厚度、体脂和肌肉量更大。在第5类中，所有身高和相对骨量更大。本研究证实了以下假设：五分类身高体重系统适用于17岁的新兵。
