Abstract
The study aims to classify somatotype of Vietnamese middle-aged male live in Ho Chi Minh City. Thirty-two 3D anthropometric body measurements from 378 men aged from 30 to 60 are comprehensive studied. The results of the study are as follows: Three independent factors were extracted using factor analysis for cluster analysis, then classified into five body types. Group 1, accounting for 16.4%, is "short and proportional" body type with short height stature and normal body proportions but high waist, small thighs and chest, small neck and narrow shoulder. Group 2 can be called “short and fat” body type, accounting for 35.19%, is a low height stature and obesity level I with small thighs and knees, developed neck and shoulder.
