Growth patterns of body size, proportion, and composition were analyzed in 57 male and 56 female Eskimos from St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, ranging in age from 1.23 through 19.82 years. Age-groups means for whites and blacks of the U.S. Health Examination Survey served as reference data. Relative to HES data, the Eskimo sample were shorter with lower values for leg length, while there were no differences from the reference values for sitting height. The Eskimos also had higher values of Quetelet's Index, the sitting height/height ratio, and the upper arm muscle circumference, while there were no differences in body weight or triceps skinfold thickness. Differences from the reference data were more pronounced in males than in females. The growth patterns for size and body proportion are in conformity with known relationships between morphology and climate.
对来自白令海圣劳伦斯岛的57名男性和56名女性爱斯基摩人的身体大小、比例和组成的生长模式进行了分析，年龄范围从1.23岁到19.82岁。美国健康检查调查中白人和黑人的年龄组均值用作参考数据。相对于健康检查调查数据，爱斯基摩人样本身高较矮，腿长数值较低，而坐高与参考值没有差异。爱斯基摩人的克托莱指数、坐高/身高比和上臂肌肉周长数值也较高，而体重或肱三头肌皮褶厚度没有差异。与参考数据的差异在男性中比在女性中更明显。身体大小和比例的生长模式与形态学和气候之间的已知关系相符。
