introduction: anthropometry (morphometry of the human) is measurement of linear and angular dimensions of the human body. since the anthropometric parameters which are based on age, sex, geographical location and ethnic characteristics of the human species are different, therefore, anthropometric studies of population by age and sex should be done separately. methods: in this study, anthropomet...

Although promising to provide insight into the interaction between genotype and environment, investigations into fluctuating asymmetry suffer from a lack of standardization in the reporting of measurement error. In the present paper we show, using both anthropometric and odontometric data, that the use of the reliability coefficient calculated for a bilateral measurement provides no indication ...

During the last two decades, economic and social historians have often used height and other anthropometric indicators to investigate the well-being of earlier generations. Although much of this research has focused specifically on the heights and weights of men, there is also a growing body of evidence relating to women and to children of both sexes, and this work has enabled anthropometric hi...

Anthropometric measurement data can be used to design a variety of devices and processes with which humans will interact; however, collecting these data is a very time-consuming process. In order to facilitate the rapid and accurate collection of anthropometric data, a novel system is under development which makes use of multiple Microsoft Kinect sensors to estimate body sizes. The Kinect is an...

The primary aim of the INTERGROWTH-21(st) Project is to construct new, prescriptive standards describing optimal fetal and preterm postnatal growth. The anthropometric measurements include the head circumference, recumbent length and weight of the infants, and the stature and weight of the parents. In such a large, international, multicentre project, it is critical that all study sites follow s...

UNLABELLED Purpose : The aim of this study was to assess the effects of zinc supplementation on anthropometric measures, improving lipid profile biomarkers, and fasting blood glucose level in obese people. METHODS This randomized, double- blind clinical trial was carried out on 60 obese participants in the 18-45 age range for one month. The participants were randomly divided into the interven...

OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between five anthropometric parameters and the distance from tibial tuberosity to medial malleolus in 100 volunteers. METHODS Six anthropometric parameters were measured in 50 male and 50 female medical students using a metallic scale: medial knee joint line to ankle joint line (K-A), medial knee joint line to medial malleolus (K-MM), tibial tuberosity to a...

BACKGROUND Foot dimension information on different user groups is important for footwear design and clinical applications. Foot dimension data collected using different measurement methods presents accuracy problems. This study compared the precision and accuracy of the 3D foot scanning method with conventional foot dimension measurement methods including the digital caliper, ink footprint and ...
