<p style="text-align:justify;">The compactness of the body is due to the proper union of body parts. The body measurements infer about the human body composition, physique, and nutrition. Ayurveda clearly described compactness and included it in the diagnostic criteria of diseases. Few researchers have attempted to classify human beings based on compactness in the past few decades. In the 1940s, William Herbert Sheldon claimed that a body type has three types: Ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph. <br/>Endomorphic have the characteristics of physically round, wide hips, narrow shoulders, extra fat on their body, arms, and thighs, skinny ankles and wrists that make the rest of their body look even bigger. <br/>Mesomorphic persons have large head and broad shoulders with a narrow waist, attractive and desirable, with strong muscular bodies, arms and legs, and little fat on the body. Ectomorphic persons have narrow shoulders, thin legs and arms, little fat on the body, a narrow face and chest, and always stay skinny.<ref name="ref3"></ref>
