- Abstract
The paper presents the anthropometric characterization of the adult population in different regions of the country: Oltenia, Muntenia, Dobrogea, Moldova, Bucovina, Maramureş, Transylvania, Banat and Crişana. The results of statistical processing of data from the anthropometric survey, allowed the characterization of regional anthropological structure depending on the influencing factors. It was noted that male subjects from Crişana are the tallest and the skinniest ones, while those from Oltenia and Muntenia have average height but are corpulent. Also, female subjects from Maramureș are the tallest and the skinniest ones, while those from Oltenia have average height and are corpulent. The paper presents, in addition to the anthropometric characterization, the results of a documentary study on ethnographic characteristics of the popular costume from different regions of the country. The Traditional Romanian costume varies by region: Banat, Transylvania, Bucovina, Moldova, Crişana, Maramureş, Dobrogea, Oltenia and Muntenia. In each of the country regions the combinations of colors imposed by tradition are strictly respected.
