“…While creating the classification, we took into consideration that it could be used to characterise different stages of concordance between height and weight (small, medium, large) [6] and simultaneously characterise the classical somatotypes -pyknics and leptosomes [8] as the greatest manifestations of disconcordance between height and weight.…”

The study is focused on creating an anthropometric model that would enable to associate the body build peculiarities with nutritional variables. Thirty-six body measurements and 12 skinfolds were measured on 131 17-23-year-old female students of the University of Tartu, and 12 body composition characteristics were calculated. The subjects had to submit descriptions of their 24-hour menus. Nutrient intake was determined using the Micro-Nutrica software and the food composition database; the energy (in kcal) and main nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) content in the subjects' 24-hour menus were calculated. All body measurements were compared with nutritional variables, and 29 anthropometric variables were found that showed statistically significant correlations with at least one nutrient characteristic. The amount of food consumed correlated positively with body density and negatively with weight, circumferences, skinfolds and all indicators of body fat content (r reached 0.32). To associate body size, shape and composition with the amount of food consumed, a 5 SD height and weight classification was used, which consisted of three classes of concordance between height and weight (small, medium, large) and two classes of disconcordance -pyknomorphs and leptomorphs. All the 29 body measurements and nutrient were distributed systematically between the different classes. The pyknomorphous class with its greater body fat content and smaller density contrasted clearly with the class of leptomorphs. Food consumption in total as well as per 1 kg of body weight was smaller in pyknics 1 Originally published as "Using a height-weight classification for analysis of food energy and main nutrient contents in 24-hour menus of 17-23-year-old Estonian female students" in Anthropologischer Anzeiger 2007, 1, 51-59.202 | J. Peterson, H. Kaarma, S. Koskel than in leptosomes. Protein consumption did not reveal statistically significant differences. One should not overestimate the significance of BMI in nutritional studies. BMI characterises only obesity and cannot replace the characterisation of different body types. In our study, BMI of the small and the leptosomic class was almost equal, although these body types differ greatly from each other.

“…Rigidity is quite similar to construct of Typus melancholicus proposed by Tellenbach [24], while Tendency to Isolation and Esoteric Tendency are based on Kretschmer's classical study on relationships between constitution and personality [25]. Frustration tolerance refers to resiliency or stress coping strategy.…”

“…Hans Sedlmayr, qui enseignait à Munich depuis 1951, avait adapté les critères de la Gestaltpsychologie à son analyse structurale de l'oeuvre d'art. Il examina l'architecture de Borromini à la lumière de Körperbau und Charakter d'Ernst Kretschmer, livre de grande vulgarisation qui comparait le caractère et le corps de l'homme 8 . Quant à Ernst Kris, proche de Sigmund Freud, il étudia tant la sculpture de Franz Xaver Messerschmidt que la caricature à la lumière de la psychanalyse Le Zentralinstitut était une forteresse de l'ancien régime dans la discipline.…”
