摘要：Se evaluó la composición corporal de 130 hombres 209 mujeres, entre 16 y 21 años, participantes del Programa Samuel Robinson de ingreso a la UCV. Los datos antropométricos se to-maron con las metodologías del Programa Biológico Internacional y de la Conferencia de Arlie (Virginia) y los datos socioeconómicos con el método Graffar-Méndez Castellano. Se calcula-ron los índices de masa corporal, de contextura y cintura-cadera, el área muscular y el porcentaje de grasa. A través del Z-score se comparan los resultados con los de un grupo de estudiantes de la FACES-UCV. Los hombres presentan bajo peso y musculatura deficitaria y una proporción elevada de sujetos con grasa baja. Las mujeres tienen peso corporal adecuado, con tendencia al bajo peso, grasa adecuada y porcentajes altos de musculatura deficitaria. Nuestros sujetos difieren de los del grupo de referencia, sólo en el área muscular acentuándose la diferencia en los hombres.
其他摘要：The corporal characteristics of 130 men and 209 women between 16 and 21 years of age, and belonging to the Samuel Robinson Program for entering the UCV (which signifies poor socio-economic family conditions), were evaluated for this article. The anthropomorphic information was gathered using the International Biological Program and the Arlie (Virginia) Conference; and the socio-economic data using the Graffar-Castellanos method. Corporal mass, contexture, thigh-waist measures, muscle and grease indexes were registered. Using Z-score, the results were compared with those of a group of students from the Economics Faculty of the UCV. The men were below-average in weight, had muscle deficiencies and a high proportion had low registers of grease. The women had an acceptable weight although with a tendency to be less than aver-age, adequate grease levels and a high proportion of muscle deficiencies. Com-pared with the reference group, the only perceptible differences were in muscles, with the men displaying more marked deficiencies.
