Original data were collected during 1979-1982 on 199 American Black and 99 American White college men attending the University of South Carolina. Statistics from these data are presented for 11 measures of body size, 6 measures of body form, and 5 measures of skinfold thickness and body composition. Each variable is described for a) the total samples of South Carolina Black and White college men, and b) three more homogeneous subgroups of college men designated Afro-Black, Afro-Black/Amerind, and Northwest European White. University of South Carolina male students are compared with other groups of United States college men and Selective Service registrants studied during the 1940's and 1950's. It is found: means for standing height of men having Afro-Black and Northwest European White ancestries exceeded the mean for standing height of peers with mixed Afro-Black/Amerind ancestry, lower limb height in percentage of sitting height, on average, was greater for Black college men than for White peers and means for body weight and standing height were higher on South Carolina Black and White college men measured during 1979-1982 than on college men measured in Kansas during the 1940's, and United States Selective Service registrants measured during the 1950's.
原始数据于1979年至1982年期间收集，涉及199名就读于南卡罗来纳大学的美国黑人男大学生和99名美国白人男大学生。文中给出了这些数据的统计结果，涉及11项身体尺寸测量、6项身体形态测量以及5项皮褶厚度和身体成分测量。每个变量针对以下两类情况进行了描述：a）南卡罗来纳州黑人与白人男大学生的总体样本；b）另外三个更为同质的男大学生亚组，分别为非洲裔黑人、非洲裔黑人/美洲印第安人以及西北欧白人。将南卡罗来纳大学的男学生与美国其他男大学生群体以及在20世纪40年代和50年代研究的选择性兵役登记人员进行了比较。研究发现：具有非洲裔黑人及西北欧白人血统的男性的站立身高均值超过了具有非洲裔黑人/美洲印第安人混合血统的同龄人站立身高均值；平均而言，黑人男大学生下肢高度占坐高的百分比高于白人同龄人；1979年至1982年期间测量的南卡罗来纳州黑人与白人男大学生的体重和站立身高均值高于20世纪40年代在堪萨斯州测量的男大学生以及20世纪50年代测量的美国选择性兵役登记人员。
