[Correlation between properties of body build and head and face dimensions]
Abstract:
The correlations between head measurements and characters of body building, determined by the method of V. Deryabin, have been studied. For 465 young men from Byelorussia it has been found the independence of variability for correlations between head measurements and skeletal proportions, distribution of subcutaneous fat and general shape of body. The low coefficients of correlation with head measurements have been found for general size of skeleton, muscles and fat. Including of head and face measurements to the character of body building is not based on the strong correlations of the signs from these two morphological systems.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...
Centroid of a Body
For a homogeneous body with constant density, the centroid can usually be found using equations representing a balance of the moments of the body's volume. If the...
