Notes on anthropometric technique: Anthropometric measurements — right and left sides
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1967AbstractIn order to discover whether statistically significant differences exist between measurements taken on the right and left sides of the body, 21 such anthropometric dimensions were compared. In eight cases significant differences were found.

An analysis of the errors in certain anthropometric measurements
Internationale Zeitschrift f�r Angewandte Physiologie Einschlie�lich Arbeitsphysiologie, 1966The study was made to assess the order of error and the sources of inaccuracy of anthropometric measurements made by a team of 9 trained observers. Some observers displayed internal inconsistencies in making the measurements, and the variability in overall means due to differences between observers were relatively large.

This document summarizes the rationale, equipment, measurement, protocol and data cleaning procedures for each of the anthropometric measures collected at the Wave VI home exam. It also documents how constructed variables were derived from the anthropometric measures collected in the field.

Measuring Anthropometric Data for HRTF Personalization
2010 Sixth International Conference on Signal-Image Technology and Internet Based Systems, 2010Nowadays, multimodal human-like sensing, e.g. vision, hap tics and audition seeks to improve interaction between an operator (human) and a teleoperator (robot) in human centered robotic systems. Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) based sound rendering techniques, which seek to create a realistic virtual auditory space for listeners, have become a ...

Considerations on Anthropometric Measurements of the Female Breast
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2002Anthropometric measurements of the breasts and their relevant position taken from fixed skeletal points provide a useful tool in the accurate evaluation of patients preoperatively and the assessment of surgical results. This paper presents the clinical correlation obtained by statistical analysis of the results of measurements of 973 women.

Buoyancy as Predicted by Certain Anthropometric Measurements
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1964Abstract Three discriminant analysis equations were computed to predict buoyancy from 17 anthropometric variables and four ratios. The subjects for the study were 69 white and 52 Negro male university students. The Negro group had less buoyancy and displayed different predictive variables than the white or the total group.

Anthropometric Measures as a Predictor of Cephalopelvic Disproportion
Tropical Doctor, 1997This study compared three body measurements, height, hip width (bitrochanteric) and foot length, in 120 Hispanic women who had their first birth by cesarean section (N = 60) or by spontaneous vaginal delivery (N = 60). The objective of the study was to see if there were differences in these measurements that could be useful in predicting cephalopelvic ...

Abstract Anthropometric measures play a dual role in nutritional epidemiology, as measures of exposure and measures of outcome. General problems associated with anthropometric measurement are discussed, including the training of field workers and use of equipment. Anthropometric indices are defined.

Anthropometric Measurement of the Hands of Chinese Children
2009This paper presents the results of a nationwide anthropometric survey conducted on children in China. Eight hand anthropometric dimensions were measured from 20,000 children with age ranged from 4 to 17 years old. Mean values, standard deviations, and the 5th, 95th percentile for each dimension were estimated.

Reliability of anthropometric methods and replicate measurements
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1989AbstractThe Spearman‐Brown Prophesy formula, derived from psychometrics, may be used in anthropometric studies to describe the relationship between the intraclass reliability coefficient for a single measurement and the reliability resulting from the mean of replicate measurements.
