Variations of Somatotype in elderly Sardinians
American Journal of Human Biology, 2005Somatotyping is an effective technique for the study of anthropometric variations and body composition in elderly subjects, even though it has not often been used in this field. The present study was conducted on a sample of 280 healthy Sardinians (134 men and 146 women) of age 60-89 years, subdivided into three age classes (60-69 years; 70-79 years ...

Schizophrenics' Stereotypes about Somatotypes

Analysis of these ratings yielded four stereotypes based on physical rather than psychological perceptions. The data are related to inconsistency of response to others by schizophrenics.

Somatotype and Disease Prevalence in Adults
Reviews on Environmental Health, 2002We examined the association between the somatotype and its main components (endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy), and the prevalence of several chronic diseases. The data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey designed to assess somatotype and morbidity with special reference to most often diagnosed diseases.

Somatotypes of College Football Players
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1968Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the somatotypes of an outstanding college football team. Thirty-five football lettermen at San Diego State were somatotyped and compared by position, and with other samples. The findings indicated that there were somatotype and size differences between playing positions and between players at different
