Constitutional index The maximum thoracic girth in centimeters + 

 the total weight in kilograms is to be subtracted from the total stature 

 in centimeters. Difference between these two numbers below 



10 denotes a very strong constitution 



11-15 denotes a very strong constitution 



16-20 denotes a very good constitution 



21-25 denotes a veiy fair constitution 



26-30 denotes a very weak constitution 



31-35 denotes a very weak constitution 



above 36 denotes a very bad constitution 



* To use the accompanying table of values it is of course necessary to use also the 

 measurements of the author [Manouvrier]. His leg length is that obtained by sub- 

 tracting the total sitting height, from the vertex to the table on which the subject is 

 sitting, and his trunk length is the same as the total sitting height.
