Abstract
The relationships between height and weight in young healthy males (16-21 years) of hilly areas of Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and West Bengal were established. It has been observed that the intercepts and slopes of the height-weight relationships of this group of subjects deviate to a high degree from those of Ehrenberg's law-like relationship. It is therefore concluded that Ehrenberg's law-like relationship of the form: log w = 0.8 h + 0.4 may not hold good for the data on height (h) in metres and weight (w) in kilograms for young healthy males of hilly areas of India. The results of the present study are in agreement with our earlier studies.
确定了北方邦、查谟和克什米尔以及西孟加拉邦丘陵地区年轻健康男性(16-21岁)的身高和体重之间的关系。已经观察到,这组受试者的身高-体重关系的截距和斜率与Ehrenberg的类定律关系的截距和斜率有很大的偏离。因此,可以得出结论,对于印度丘陵地区年轻健康男性的身高(h)(米)和体重(w)(公斤)数据,log w = 0.8 h + 0.4形式的Ehrenberg类定律关系可能不适用。本研究的结果与我们以前的研究结果一致。
