Anthropometry is the science that defines physical measures of a person's size, form, and functional capacities. Anthropometric measurements can help determine degree of protection against dangerous exposures. Illness or injury may occur if workers’ normal anthropometric measurements are not considered in workplace designs and personal ...

Anthropometric indices definitions. Stature-for-age describes linear growth relative to age. Stature- or length-for-age is used to define how short or tall the child or adolescent is at the time. Weight-for-age reflects body weight relative to age and might be influenced by recent changes in health or nutrition. Weight-for-age is not used to ...
ISO Digital Headforms. Using anthropometric data gathered during the 2003 NIOSH survey, parameters for new headforms in five size categories were developed by the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) of NIOSH. Three-dimensional (3D) scans of five individuals, who most closely represented a given size category were averaged ...
From the 3,997 subject anthropometric survey, 1,013 subjects were also scanned using a Cyberware 3D Rapid Digitizer. Three-dimensional scans of five individuals, who most closely represented a given size category, were averaged to construct a representative headform for each category (small, medium, large, long/narrow and short/wide).

anthropometric reference data for all ages of the U.S. population in 2007–2010, adding to results published previously from the years 1960–2006. Methods. Data are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a complex, stratified, and multistage probability sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population.
The most common anthropometric indices used to screen for obesity and overweight are body mass index (BMI, weight in kg/height in m 2), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (2,7,8). BMI is a simple indicator associated with an increased risk of CVD, although it may not reflect variations in body fat distribution (9).
