anthropometrics

Anthropometrics is the study of measuring the human body’s size, shape, and proportions. It involves collecting data on dimensions such as height, weight, limb lengths, and body circumferences. This information helps in designing ergonomic products, clothing, and workspaces that fit people better, as well as assessing nutritional status and health. By analyzing these measurements, researchers and professionals can understand typical body variations within populations, supporting improvements in health, safety, and comfort.
