title: [Measurements of the arm in inhabitants of the Lublin region].
abstract: Anthropological measurements in 1630 inhabitants of the Lublin region were carried out. In all the examined material the length of the right arm in men ranged from 26.5 to 39 cm (mean-32.96) and of the left one--from 26.5 to 38 cm (mean-32.77 cm). The length of the right arm in women ranged from 23 to 36 cm (mean-30.74 cm) and of the left one--from 23 to 36 cm (mean--30.57 cm). The length of the right arm in men was bigger than in women. It was found that both in men and women the right arm is often longer than the left arm. Differences of the length of the arms related to body's side in both sexes were statistically significant. However, no significant differences were found in the length of arms in relation to age. Length index of the arms both in men and women was on the right side 19.7 and on the left side 19.6 and was classified as that of mean arms.
