Formulation of the reference Indian adult: anatomic and physiologic data.

Data on heights and weights of Indian males and females of various ages are presented. The weights of specific organs obtained from post-mortem records of accident cases of Indian adults and children are also presented to provide some inputs towards formulation of an Indian Reference Man for radiation protection purposes. An intercomparison of the present data with the data available from other sources including those for ICRP Reference Man, Woman, and Child has been made. The daily intakes of air, water, and dietary constituents of an average Indian adult are also given.
