为加强辐射防护基础设施，在巴基斯坦开展了一项关于参考亚洲人身体特征的试点研究。收集并汇编了所有年龄组的巴基斯坦男子和妇女的身高和体重的身体数据，以建立一个参考巴基斯坦男子/妇女，为参考亚洲男子/妇女做出贡献。巴基斯坦男性的年龄和体重指数（BMI）之间的相关性（即，r（m）= +0.89）和雌性（即，r（f）= +0.71）。20-50岁年龄组的巴基斯坦男性和女性的平均BMI分别为21.95 kg m（-2）和21.20 kg m（-2）。根据最近的文献和其他人的工作，参考亚洲男性（RAM）和参考亚洲女性（RAF）的BMI分别为20.79 kg m（-2）和20.81 kg m（-2）。我们的研究结果落在亚洲国家男性/女性成年人的BMI范围内，即，19.14- 22.98kg·m ~（-2）和19.38- 22.71kg·m ~（-2）。然而，没有注意到显著的性别特异性差异。Health Phys.80（3）：274-277; 2001.
To strengthen the radiation protection infrastructure, a pilot study on physical characteristics for Reference Asian Man was carried out in Pakistan. Physical data on height and weight of Pakistani men and women were collected and compiled for all age groups to establish a Reference Pakistani Man/Woman which contributed toward the Reference Asian Man/Woman. A correlation between Age and Body Mass Index (BMI) of Pakistani MALES (i.e., r(m) = +0.89) and FEMALES (i.e., r(f) = +0.71) was observed. Average BMI of Pakistani males and females for the age group of 20-50 y was found to be 21.95 kg m(-2) and 21.20 kg m(-2), respectively. From recent literature and work of others BMI for Reference Asian Male (RAM) and Reference Asian Female (RAF) has been found to be 20.79 kg m(-2) and 20.81 kg m(-2). Results of our study fall within BMI ranges for male/female adults of Asian countries, i.e., 19.14-22.98 kg m(-2) and 19.38-22.71 kg m(-2), respectively. However, no significant sex specific difference has been noted. Health Phys. 80(3):274-277; 2001.
