Objective : To study the relationship between the fluctuating asymmetry ( FA) of digit length and
depression in women from Ningxia Han nationality. Methods : Anthropometry was used to calculate FA of digit
length of 238 individuals ( control :122 ; depression patients :116) and the mean values were compared between
them. Results : The results showed the trend as 2FA>4FA>3FA>5FA in both the control and depression patients. The
mean values of each FA were higher in patients than those of the control. There were significant differences in 2FA and
4FA between the two groups. The percentage of the number of 2FA and 4FA in 0.02 mm
