Data were collected during 1987 on 84 Baiga and 146 Gond males, ages 7 years to 18 years, living in rural regions of Madhya Pradesh State (India). Comparisons are made between Baiga and Gond males for 11 measures of body size, one measure of body form, and the body mass index (BMI). Somatic comparisons (standing height, body weight, and skelic index) were made at 5 ages with earlier samples of rural Indian males. Across all ages Gond males exceed their Baiga peers in standing height, sitting height, shoulder width, and body weight. Skelic index values (lower limb height expressed relative to sitting height) are similar for both ethnic groups through late childhood, but thereafter values are higher for Baiga males. Through age 15 years, Gond males exceed other rural Indian males from various tribes in standing height and body weight; lower limb height expressed relative to sitting height is highest for Baiga males.
1987年，对生活在印度中央邦农村地区的84名年龄在7岁至18岁之间的拜加族男性和146名贡德族男性进行了数据收集。对拜加族和贡德族男性在11项身体尺寸测量、1项身体形态测量以及体重指数（BMI）方面进行了比较。在5个年龄段对身体特征（身高、体重和骨骼指数）与印度农村男性早期样本进行了比较。在所有年龄段中，贡德族男性在身高、坐高、肩宽和体重方面均超过他们的拜加族同龄人。在童年后期，两个族群的骨骼指数值（下肢高度相对于坐高）相似，但此后拜加族男性的该值更高。到15岁时，贡德族男性在身高和体重方面超过了来自不同部落的其他印度农村男性；相对于坐高而言，拜加族男性的下肢高度最高。
