Stature and body-mass index among mid-nineteenth century South Chinese immigrants

Abstract

Mean values of anthropometric measurements of 150 Chinese men, taken in 1864 or 1865, were recovered. The subjects had emigrated to California and were returning to China when they were measured. Comparisons were made to measurements of other Chinese men of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The men of this sample were much taller than those in other South Chinese samples, and about as tall as those in North Chinese samples.
