摘要: 本文应用因子分析方法确定身高、体重、胸围三项指标的权重系数,计算出中国28个城市18岁汉族男女青年生长发育水平的“发育分”。并将发育分与有关自然环境因素进行了相关性研究。发育分与地球纬度、日照时数、气温年较差等具有高度相关性(r=0.6221~0.6715ρ<0.01),与其它气候因素也有相关性。不同水系水质地区的发育分有显著性差异(ρ<0.05—0.01)。由此提示,自然环境因素,是影响人类生长发育的一个不可忽视的因素。

Abstract: Using factor analysis to determine the we1ghted coefficient of body height, weight and chest circumfesence, the growth scores of Chinese youth, aged 18 years, were calculated in 28 big cities.
It was found that the growth score of northern youth was higher than southern (P < 0.005) and the score order of male and female of 28 cities was rather similar (r=0.8590 P < 0.005).
Correlations were analized between growth score and environmental factors ( geographical environment, climatic, river system) in order to study the influence of the environment factors to growth and development. The significant correlations (male r= 0.6558, female r= 0.6715, P<0.01) were found in growth score and geographical latitude. The growth score and most of climatical factors were all significantly correlated and the correlations coefficients between the growth score and sunshine duration, mean annual range of temperature were highest. In the multiple stepwise regression analysis of growth score and climatical factor, the first two variables selected were sunshine and mean annual range of temperature in male and female, too. This shows the importance of the sunshine and mean annual range of temperature growth. Growth score in each river system was significantly different: Yellow River was highest, Yangtze River was middle and Pearl River was lowest. The difference of the water quality was similar to the growth difference in the three river systems.
The study shows that the natural environment factor was one of important factors affecting human growth.
