- Abstract
In the year 1878 Oscar Grube presented his dissertation "Anthropologische Untersuchungen an Esten" for receiving the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. In this study the body build of the Estonian male was characterized by the multidimensional model for the first time. By tradition of this time the height of males was analyzed in one age group from 17 to 69 years. Contemporary anthropometric studies both in Estonia and abroad have shown that with aging the mean height of the male decreases. The aim of the present paper is to analyze the height of the male in four age groups. As a result of our study, it was shown that the Tartu County male in the age of 30-39 years had the height 166.8 ± 6.18 cm and the mean height of total 100 subjects 165.4 ± 5.89 cm. That is more than the mean height of the male in Grube's dissertation.
