ABSTRACT

Morphological characteristics describe a person on the basis of morphological (anthropometric) traits that are determined by anthropometric measurement techniques. The morphological structure of the entire psychosomatic status of a person means a system of basic anthropometric latent dimensions obtained from a series of manifest variables. In modern anthropometry, using factor analysis for data processing, four main factors or dimensionalities of the human body have been identified: longitudinal dimensionality, transversal dimensionality, circular dimensionality, and body mass and subcutaneous adipose tissue. As there are high correlations between these dimensions, constitutional types have been defined, making it possible to classify the human population by a particular morphological pattern.
