Abstract
The aim of this work was to select a body build type index which would be least dependent on the body height. By using 5 indices: Quetelets I and II, Rohrers, Broca-Brugschs and slenderness index, 100 boys aged 13 years were examined. It was demonstrated that the best suited (in terms of bias caused by body height) was the Quetelets index II, by using which only 4 of boys deviated from the expected proportional distribution related to body height. When other indices were used, the deviations from the expected frequencies were considerably greater. Verf.-Referat
