Anthropometric Reference Data

Anthropometric reference data consists of standardized measurements of human body size and proportions, such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and limb lengths. These data serve as benchmarks to assess and compare individuals or populations, helping healthcare providers, nutritionists, and researchers understand growth patterns, nutritional status, and health risks. By having a set of normal ranges and averages, they can identify deviations that may indicate health concerns or developmental issues. This information is crucial for designing appropriate health interventions, developing clothing, designing ergonomic tools, and studying population health trends.
