Abstract

Considerable attempts have been made to study the changes in three important body measurements (viz. body height, body weight and chest circumference) in young healthy males between different states of India using univariate statistical analysis in which body measurements are assumed to be independent of each other. Actually these body measurements are correlated with each other and thus the assumption of independence is violated in univariate statistical analysis. Hence the results obtained by univariate statistical analysis may be misleading. An attempt has, therefore, been made in the present study to apply multivariate statistical analysis in order to have an idea about the simultaneous changes in these three correlated measurements between different states of India in healthy Indian males of age ranging from 16-21 years. It has been concluded that significant changes take place in these three body measurements simultaneously of young healthy males of 16-21 years of age between different states of India.

对印度不同邦的三种身体测量的多变量研究。
已经进行了大量的尝试,利用单变量统计分析来研究印度不同邦之间年轻健康男性的三个重要身体测量(即身高、体重和胸围)的变化,其中假设身体测量是相互独立的。实际上这些身体测量是相互关联的,因此在单变量统计分析中违反了独立性假设。因此,单变量统计分析的结果可能具有误导性。因此,本研究试图应用多元统计分析,以了解印度不同邦16-21岁健康男性这三个相关测量值的同时变化情况。得出的结论是,在印度不同邦之间,16-21岁的年轻健康男性的这三项身体测量同时发生了重大变化。
