An anthropometric study of 358 healthy schoolgirls at the age from 17 to 18 years from all secondary schools of Tartu was carried out. 42 single body measurements and 11 skinfolds were measured, and 45 indices and body composition characteristics were derived from them. The data were systematised into 5 height-weight SD-classes according to the correspondence between height and weight. There were 3 classes with relative correspondence between height and weight: 1. short and light girls, 2. medium-height and medium-weight girls, 3. tall and heavy girls and 2 classes with the largest relative non-correspondence between height and weight: 4. pycnics, 5. leptosomes. In addition to the well-known differences between pycnics and leptosomes it was also shown that in the classes small--medium--big statistically significant gradual changes take place. The increase in the fullness of the body and in the amount of soft tissue was in positive correlation with total body fat and subcutaneous body fat and with bone-muscle rate in the cross-sectional area of the arm and the thigh. The increase in height was connected with proportional changes in the whole skeleton. As the proportions of fat, muscles and bones are in mutual correlation, for establishing of norms for these proportions it is necessary to take the body size into consideration.
对塔尔图所有中学17至18岁的358名健康女学生进行了人体测量研究。测量了42项单项身体指标和11处皮褶厚度，并由此得出45项指数和身体成分特征。根据身高与体重的对应关系，将数据系统地分为5个身高体重标准差等级。有3个身高与体重相对对应的等级：1. 矮且轻的女孩；2. 中等身高和中等体重的女孩；3. 高且重的女孩；还有2个身高与体重相对不对应的等级：4. 矮胖型；5. 瘦长型。除了矮胖型和瘦长型之间众所周知的差异外，还表明在小—中—大等级中存在统计学上显著的逐渐变化。身体丰满度和软组织量的增加与全身脂肪、皮下脂肪以及手臂和大腿横截面积的骨肌肉率呈正相关。身高的增加与整个骨骼的比例变化有关。由于脂肪、肌肉和骨骼的比例相互关联，为了确定这些比例的规范，有必要考虑身体大小。
