Anthropological measurements in 1150 female and 480 male inhabitants of the Lublin region were carried out. In all the examined material the length of the right forearm in men ranged from 20 to 30.5 cm (mean-25.40), and of the left one--from 20 to 30 cm (mean-25.3); in women the right forearm ranged from 19 to 31 cm (mean-23.50) of length and the left one--from 19 to 33 cm (mean-23.30) of length. The length of the right and left forearms was always bigger in men than in women. Both in men and women the right forearm was found to be longer than the left one and differences between the length of the forearms related to body's side were almost significant in men, and in women--significant. Significant differences were also found in the length of the forearm in relation to age. The length of forearm was decreased in relation to the age in men and in women it was increased. On the basis of arm-forearm index it can be stated that both in men and in women the forearms values were mostly of short class.
对卢布林地区1150名女性和480名男性居民进行了人体测量。在所有被检查的对象中，男性右前臂长度在20至30.5厘米之间（平均25.40厘米），左前臂长度在20至30厘米之间（平均25.3厘米）；女性右前臂长度在19至31厘米之间（平均23.50厘米），左前臂长度在19至33厘米之间（平均23.30厘米）。男性左右前臂的长度总是大于女性。男性和女性的右前臂都比左前臂长，且前臂长度在身体两侧的差异在男性中几乎显著，在女性中显著。在前臂长度与年龄的关系上也发现了显著差异。男性前臂长度随年龄增长而减小，女性则随年龄增长而增加。根据臂-前臂指数可以得出，男性和女性的前臂数值大多属于短臂类型。
