- Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify age-related features of body proportions of Yakut men of older age groups. The analysis of the somatometric survey of 591 men of three age groups was carried out: the second mature period, the elderly and the senile ages. The obtained material was processed by the method of variation statistics by SPSS application package for Windows (version 17.0). The result of the research revealed that representatives of the second mature age had overall size of the body (length and weight of the body), the length of the lower limb, chest circumference, buttock circumference, the diameter of the shoulders and the transverse diameter of the chest. The study of variability in the physique proportionality of male Yakuts showed the presence of age differences in the index of the skeleton, the relative width of the pelvis and the body shape. At the same time, senile men had pelvic diameter of significantly greater values compared to the rates of older and second mature age. The established age characteristics of the somatometric characteristics of male Yakuts of 36-89 years old were consistent with the theory of secular trend observed throughout the world and with the trend towards asthenization of a younger generation.
