The Va people are distributed in the border area between China, Myanmar and Thailand, and their language belongs to the Mon-Khmer language group, which is divided into Va Va, A Va and Baraoke Va. In order to explore the physical characteristics of the Huangyi Va ethnic group in China, the research team measured the head, face and body parameters of 325 adults (127 males and 198 females) in Dazhai Village, Mengjian Township, Lincang City, Yunnan Province in 2023. Physical index and classification were calculated and analyzed by Excel and SPSS. The results are as follows: The crease rate of eyefold of the upper eyelid of male and female was higher (89.8% in male and 93.4% in female), and the mongoloid fold rate was lower (18.9% in male and 16.2% in female). The opening height of eyeslits was mainly medium, the direction of eyeslits was mainly medium, the maximum diameter of nostrils was mainly transverse, the nasal profile was mainly straight, and the alae nasi breadth was mainly wide. The lobe types was round, the zygomatic projection was tiny, and thickness of lips was middle. There were significant differences between men and women in 47 parameters such as head length, head breadth and minimum frontal breadth, which cresta iliaca breadth and hip circumference were greater in women than in men, and the other 45 parameters were greater in men than in women. According to the occurrence rate of index classification, it can be concluded that the men and women of Huangyi Va are mesocephaly, hypsicephalic, acrocephalic, mesorrhiny, medium trunk, wide chest, wide shoulder and wide crista iliaca, and the short stature type is the highest. Cluster analysis shows that the Huangyi Va ethnic group is close to Va and Deang. The principal component analysis showed that compared with the other 10 ethnic groups, the nose breadth, lip height, mouth breadth and interocular breadth of the Huangyi Va male were larger, and the face breadth and head length of the Huangyi Va male were smaller. The nose breadth, lip height, mouth breadth, interocular breadth, head length of the Huangyi Va female are at a high level.The morphological facial height and face breadth of Huangyi Va female is at a low level. This is closely related to genetic factors, living environment, eating habits and so on. The Huangyi Va adults belong to the physical characteristics of the southern ethnic groups.
