Male/female weight of internal organs: examination across multiple populations.

摘要: For internal organ weights in the 50th percentile, male/female weight relationship was examined by use of autopsy data eight populations. Values were closely coupled (P < 0.001), so that male could be expressed as a linear function corresponding female organ. A variant, reported population from India, noted. The concept "allometric mass exponent" also applied to relating weights, with close agreement. To examine if findings correlated height and whole body, value each population. There Correlation noted when body given weight.
