Anthropometric dimensions of 738 medical students at Kyushu University in Japan were analyzed to determine secular changes of height and body proportions during a 20-year period. Since 1961, means of standing height, leg length, and ratio of leg length to standing height have increased, although the rate of increase from 1971 to 1981 has been rather slow. On the contrary, the mean sitting height X 100/standing height has declined during this same period. Compared with data on the Japanese general population, the medical students were considerably taller, but the difference has decreased.
对日本九州大学738名医科学生的人体测量数据进行了分析，以确定20年间身高和身体比例的长期变化。自1961年以来，身高、腿长以及腿长与身高的比例均值均有所增加，不过1971年至1981年期间的增长速度相当缓慢。相反，同期坐高×100/身高的均值有所下降。与日本普通人群的数据相比，医科学生的身高要高得多，但这种差异已经减小。
