Abstract:
Regardless of the objectives of the study, whether it is the morphological classification of the feet or the customization of products such as orthopedic insoles or appropriate footwear for atypical feet, it is the imperative to find a rational method for detecting the anthropometric points and curves. The studies explaining the anthropometry of the foot are very few and in some cases present contradictions in the measurements between the manual and automatic scanning processes. In addition, our goal was to implement a non-contact measurement method to detect the anthropometric points of feet. This method proposes different tracking techniques using different adjustable planes. In a 3D graphical process, the morphological curves have been located with the help of these anthropometrics points and allowed the identification of the foot by their measurements. These measurements were compared with those obtained by a 3D foot scanner to validate the detection method of anthropometric points and improve it by employing these scanners.

Abstract:
Anthropometry, the systematic measurement of human body dimensions and composition using standardized procedures, has long been one of the physical anthropologist's most important methods. Early work in biomedical anthropology used anthropometric variables to test associations among body types, body characteristics, and diseases. Today there is a renewed interest in anthropometry, ratios and equations derived from anthropometric measurements, and longitudinal changes in body measurements, for evaluating health and understanding disease in individuals and populations. The measurement of the human body is once again at the forefront of applied biomedical anthropology.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study on architecture, design, ergonomics and anthropometry was to ensure compliance with the human-machine-work environment, minimize human error and obtain anthropometric measurements accurately, safely and rapidly. Design/methodology/approach The developed system efficiently extracted anthropometric data for 15,243 individuals with an accuracy rate of 98.8 per cent, focusing on the values for “shoulder breath” and “body depth.” In this study, a new anthropometric measurement system was developed and subsequently applied to obtain anthropometric measurements easily and quickly. The effect of the newly collected anthropometric data on the design discipline was evaluated. Findings The findings highlighted the need to update the anthropometric data used in other design studies. In addition to contributing to designing discipline, the updated anthropometric data are considered suitable for use in many different fields. Research limitations/implications The design discipline and related disciplines are expected to take advantage of these measurements. Updating the aforementioned data will also be easier and faster because of the simplicity and affordability of the system. Originality/value This is the first and only such study in Turkey with regard to the up-to-date anthropometric measurements obtained and the size of the database created.

Abstract:
Anthropmetric data have always been of interest for scientists. They have also great practical value for different groups of people: tailors, designers and also health care specialists. Anthropological data are different in different geographical areas and also change in time. That is why it is important to save also results of older anthropometrical measurements. In Estonia the anthropometrical measurements have been made by different researchers since the 18th century. The Group of Physical Anthropology at the University of Tartu (initiated by prof Helje Kaarma) was especially active in gathering anthropometric data. The data were saved in the Anthropometic Register. Unfortunately, the register had no financial support and so its activities stopped. In summer 2016 the group of people interested in saving the historical anthropometric data started revitalising the Register of Anthropological Data. Hopefully, it will be possible to use the Estonian Social Science Data Archive for this purpose.

Abstract:
Anthropometry is the physical measurement of the human body. Historically, physical anthropologists have centered on osteometric and craniometric measurements; in the 19th century, the focus was on skeletal populations. At the beginning of the 20th century, this research focus shifted to the living as scientists such as Henry Bowditch, the medical doctor, and Franz Boas, the anthropologist, used anthropometric measurements of growing children as markers of health status. Scientists recognized that the growth and development process was affected by the environment and thus reflective of the health and well being of the individual and his/her population. Unfortunately, the study of development generally ceases with samples of young adults, who presumably have finished growing. This article deals with anthropometric health assessment in adults. It proposes that adults continue to change throughout their lives, and that the assessment of such changes through anthropometry has promising applications.

Abstract:
Objective To determine the precision and accuracy of facial anthropometric measurements obtained through digital three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry. Design Nineteen standard craniofacial measurements were repeatedly obtained on 20 subjects by two independent observers, using calipers and 3D photos (obtained with a Genex 3D camera system), both with and without facial landmarks labeled. Four different precision estimates were then calculated and compared statistically across techniques. In addition, mean measurements from 3D photos were compared statistically with those from direct anthropometry. Results In terms of measurement precision, the 3D photos were clearly better than direct anthropometry. In almost all cases, the 3D photo with landmarks labeled had the highest overall precision. In addition, labeling landmarks prior to taking measurements improved precision, regardless of method. Good congruence was observed between means derived from the 3D photos and direct anthropometry. Statistically significant differences were noted for seven measurements; however, the magnitude of these differences was often clinically insignificant (< 2 mm). Conclusions Digital 3D photogrammetry with the Genex camera system is sufficiently precise and accurate for the anthropometric needs of most medical and craniofacial research designs.

Abstract:
Background: Anthropometry is a well-established means of measuring facial morphology. Although reliable, direct anthropometry can be time-consuming and not conducive to a busy clinical practice. The Vectra H1 handheld stereophotogrammetric system requires 3 stereophotographs taken from different perspectives to generate a three-dimensional (3D) surface. The time needed to take the 3 stereophotographs can increase the possibility of involuntary movements, precluding its use to assess young patients. To overcome this limitation, we evaluated if accurate linear facial measurements can be obtained from a single stereophotograph and compare these to the measurements taken by direct anthropometry. Methods: Twenty pediatric patients, aged 0 to 10 years, who were undergoing minor surgical procedures at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital were recruited. Fourteen linear facial distances were obtained from each participant using direct anthropometry under general anesthesia. These same distances were measured using Mirror 3D analysis. Intraclass correlation was used to determine intrarater reliability on duplicate 3D images. Results: Correlation coefficients between 3D imaging in frontal view and direct anthropometric measurements were excellent for 13 measures taken, ranging from 0.8 (subnasale to columella and subnasale to stomion superius) to 0.98 (nasion to subnasale and subnasale to labiale superius). Correlation coefficients between submental view and direct anthropometric measurements were excellent for 13 measures as well, ranging from 0.77 (subnasale to columella) to 0.98 (nasion to subnasale). Conclusions: Linear anthropometric measurements taken from 3D surfaces generated from a single stereophotograph correlate closely with direct anthropometric measures. This improves workflow and applicability of anthropometric studies to our youngest patients.

Abstract:
Purpose: The primary purpose of this research study was to assess the degree of agreement between simple anthropometric measurements (i.e. body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio) and the measures of regional adiposity, with a primary focus on the androidlgynoid ratio, assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This secondary purpose of the study was to identify any significant correlations between the measures of regional adiposity, physical activity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Forty-eight subjects, 19 males (48.7 ± 16.9 years) and 29 females (43.6 ± 16.2 years), volunteered to participate in this study. Subjects underwent laboratory testing compromised of resting blood pressure, blood lipid analysis, waist & hip circumference, total body DXA scan, and a one week physical activity assessment. Results: Significant correlations were observed between body mass index and region body fat % (r = 0.84, 0.79), waist circumference and android fat % (r = 0.79, 0.75), and waist-to-hip ratio and androidlgynoid ratio (r = 0.72, 0.61) for men and women, respectively. Fasting insulin was correlated with region body fat %, android body fat %, trunk body fat %, and the android/gynoid ratio. The android/gynoid ratio was correlated with high density lipoproteins, very low density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and fasting glucose. There was a statistically significant negative relationship observed between average steps per day and body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, region body fat %, android body fat %, and trunk body fat %. Conclusions: This study found that there are strong relationships between simple anthropometric measures and regional body fat measures from the DXA. According to the data in the present study, body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio provide simple yet sensitive methods for the estimation of regional body fat in Caucasian males and females. In addition, this study found significant correlations between measures of the blood lipid profile, physical activity, and both simple anthropometric and DXA measures of regional body fat. Key words: android fat, body mass index, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, gynoid fat, obesity, waist circumference.

Abstract:
Objective: To investigate differences in dietary intake variables and anthropometric measurements in healthy young adult women of healthy body mass index (BMI) with high and low scores of cognitive eating restraint (CER), disinhibition (DI), and hunger. Design: Cross-sectional study in which the Eating Inventory was completed along with the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire and anthropometric measurements using standard procedures and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, respectively. Participants: 65 healthy young adult women. Setting: This research was conducted in the Bone Laboratory on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia. Statistical analyses: Independent t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficient analyses, and general linear regression models. Results: Women with high CER scores (n=32; mean±SD CER score=13.1±2.4) consumed more fruits per day (2.4±0.9 svg/d) compared to women with low CER scores (n=33; CER score=4.5±3.0; fruits=1.8±1.1 svg/d; p<0.05). Women with high hunger scores (n=35; hunger score=7.5±2.2) consumed less fruits per day (1.8±0.9 svg/d) compared to women with low hunger scores (n=30; hunger score=3.0±1.1; fruits=2.4±1.1 svg/d; p<0.05). Women with high compared to low CER scores had higher body weight (p<0.05), BMI (p<0.05), fat mass (p<0.05), and body fat percentage (p<0.05), while women with high (n=31; DI score=7.6±2.5) compared to low (n=34; DI score=2.9±1.0) DI scores were taller (p<0.05). Hunger predicted estimated daily dietary intakes of total energy (p<0.05), protein (p<0.01), and fat (p<0.01), while CER (p<0.05) and DI (p<0.05) predicted estimated daily dietary fruit intake. Conclusion: In healthy young adult women, eating characteristics can distinguish between some dietary intake patterns and anthropometric measurements. Hunger is a predictor of estimated energy, protein, and fat intake in these women.

Abstract:
Background: Our previous epidemiological study have investigated the effect of pesticides on growth of boys in the Western Cape rural area, in this cross-sectional study, we extend those initial observation into a more detailed exploration of t he growth pattern in anthropometric variables and hormonal indicators, and its relation to pubertal stage. Reference data in relation to pubertal stage are presented, and compared with other international findings. Objective: To investigate the anthrop ometric growth and reproductive hormones alternation of Western Cape Rural boys who are potentially exposed to agricultural pesticides. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 269 boys was conducted in the rural Western Cape in South Africa. Tests included serum gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH), lutenizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and estradiol (E2); a physical examination of height, weight and BMI measurements; sexual matura tional assessment and a questionnaire (demographics and general medical history). Median of anthropometric variables and hormone levels by pubertal stage were compared with international references. Results: Median age of pubertal onset is 11.6 years old, later than African American boys and Urban South African boys. Western Cape rural boys were apparently shorter and lighter compared with the CDC and the WHO growth standards in the prepubertal and early pubertal stage, and then catch-up evidently in the mid and late puberty. Compared with previous pubertal hormonal studies, our boys were low in serum levels of testosterone were low and high in oestradiol levels throughout entire pubertal stages and the classic endocrine Negative Feedback Loops in hy pothalamic pituitary gonadal axis were established earlier. Conclusion: The results provide further evidence for the effects potentially from agricultural pesticides exposure in the pattern of growth in height and weight, and hormonal fluctuations dur ing the development of puberty.

Abstract:
The effect of selected anthropometric indices on the reproducibility of continuous wave (CW) Doppler echocardiographic recordings in exercise were studied in 42 healthy males between 18 and 43 years of age. Each subject was measured and rank ordered in reference to four anthropometric Indices: sum of 3 skinfolds (SK); chest girth-waist girth ratio (CW); biacromial width-chest depth ratio (WD); and peak exercise ventilationâ forced vital capacity ratio (VV). Each subject then performed two maximal bicycle exercise tolerance tests on nonconsecutive days wherein the CW Doppler variables of peak acceleration (pKA), peak velocity (pKV) and stroke velocity integral (SVI) were measured along with heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and respiratory gas analysis data including oxygen consumption (V02). Statistical analyses were then conducted to determine if subject groups with high vs. low values on any anthropometric index differentiated with regard to testâ retest reliability between bicycle exercise test trials. Statistical differences were noted between ( the high and a low groups for each index at the .05 alpha level. Pearson's Product Moment correlational analyses revealed that across all subjects the highest test-retest reliability occurred during the moderate intensity of exercise. The average test-retest correlation coefficients for the high and low groups within each index are as follows: SKH, = .52, SKL = 62, CWH = .64, CWL = .60, WDH. = 62,WDL = 58, VVh. = 61, VVL = .67. Inspection of test-retest correlations between the high vs. low groups for the anthropometric indicies revealed a trend in the skinfold index. For each dependent measure at all levels of exercise intensity, the low group exhibited higher correlation coefficients than the high group except for pKA at the peak level of exercise. The other three indicies exhibited no such trends. lt was concluded that since The other three indicies exhibited no such trends. lt was concluded that since the overall correlation coefficients (average = .65) were within the ranges of those computed for HR. BP and VO2; (average = .50) the test-retest reliability with the CW Doppler was acceptable; but only during moderate levels of exercise. It was also determined from the correlation coefficients generated by the skinfold index data that measures obtained on lean individuals may be moree reproducible than measures obtained from obese individuals (See Table 2).

Abstract:
This study was undertaken to identify the landmarks that would provide the most reliable and predictable indicators of the position of the supraorbital, infraorbital, mental and mandibular foramina in human skulls of Hokien, Hylam, Indian and British populations of ranging ages, which would provide clinicians with suitable modifications in technique to accommodate these variations. Measurements were taken using both electronic digital callipers and 3D laser scanning. Electronic digital calliper measurements were made to estimate how far each foramen was from specific anatomical landmarks on the skulls. An apparatus was developed to position the skulls securely so that the measurement points could be accurately identified, then an electronic digital calliper was used to measure the distance between the defined points. In addition, the same skulls were also scanned using a FastSCAN™ Polhemus Scorpion™ handheld laser scanner, and imported into 3D modelling software (FreeForm Modelling Plus™). This 3D software integrates a PHANYOM™ desktop arm and a haptic force feedback device that provides the user with a sense of touch. Accordingly, with the “Ruler” tool, the measurements between various foramina and defined anatomical landmarks were measured. Measurements made by electronic digital calliper were compared statistically with those made using the 3D scanning method, and overall there was good correlation between the two, indicating that 3D scanning could be used as an alternative method. With regard to age changes in the skulls, the ages of the Hokien and Hylam groups were known, having been recorded from death records, but the Indian and British skulls were not of known age. In a preliminary study the known age skulls were used to validate the methods of Miles (1962) and Brothwell (1981) who aged skulls using tooth wear patterns. The decision was taken to use the Brothwell chart for the assessment of age in the Indian and British skulls in the main study. For each of the four population groups, intra-population comparisons of the measurements were made between right and left sides, and between skulls of young and old individuals, also inter-population comparisons between ipsilateral measurements were made. The correlation between the obtuseness of the mandibular angle and the ipsilateral measurement from the mental foramen to the posterior border of the mandible were made on both sides of the skulls of each population group. Non-significant differences were found between the measurements on right and left sides for the skulls of all populations. There were significant differences between some ipsilateral measurements but although there were statistically significant, they were not considered to be clinically significant. There were no significant differences between ipsilateral measurements with increasing age of the skulls. Also there were weak correlations between the obtuseness of the mandibular angle and the ipsilateral measurement from the mental foramen to the posterior border of the mandible on both sides of the skulls of each population group. There were good statistically agreements between the electronic digital calliper and 3D laser scanning measurements in all groups and the two methods may be used interchangeably. However 3D scanning is a digital process and therefore the scans could be accessed remotely, either across the internet or by CD.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to develop a regression equation to estimate weight of black male paraplegic South African subjects. Very few institutions in South Africa have wheel chair scales and very few paraplegic persons know what their weight is. People with spinal cord injury (SCI) are reported to have an increased risk to develop obesity and diseases of lifestyle. It is therefore important to monitor the nutritional status of these patients to prevent and treat the above diseases effectively. The aim was to develop an equation that incorporates variables or measurements that do not require a high level of skill and experience to be determined. The equipment needed for the determination of the measurements should also be easily accessible, for example a tape measure rather than a skin-fold caliper.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors which include abdominal obesity, hyperglycaemia, hyper-triglyceridaemia, low HDL-cholesterol and hypertension. This cluster of metabolic deviations is believed to be the primary driver of the double global epidemic of diabetes (DM) and CVD, conditions which account for much of the social and economic global burden of disease. Similar to the global trend, a high prevalence of MetS (62%) and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (28.2%) has been reported for the South African mixed ancestry population, with CVD risk significantly higher in subjects with DM. The increase in MetS prevalence is driven by the obesity epidemic and anthropometric cut-off values to define MetS for this particular component of the disease has been reported to differ widely between different populations and ethnicities. Currently the waist circumference (WC) cut-off value for MetS diagnosis needs to be determined and validated per ethnic group as opposed to the previously used European derived cut-off values (Alberti et al., 2006; 2009). Validation of the WC cut-off value needs to be against one of the so called gold standards of central obesity measurement, such as Computer Tomography (CT). This technique can measure subcutaneous fat (SAT) and visceral fat (VAT) individually, which is important because VAT has been reported to be associated with MetS and CVD. The current study forms part of a large research group, investigating the prevalence and risk factors for MetS and T2DM in the South African mixed ancestry population.

Full text
Abstract:
Vitamin A nutrition status was evaluated in 110 pairs of women and their preschool children at rural health posts in two different ecological regions of Northeast Brazil. Serum retinol and carotene, weight, height, tricep skinfold and mid-arm circumference were measured from each mother and child. Nutrition knowledge of mothers, socioeconomic living conditions and consumption of retinol and carotene food sources were assessed. Nine children (8 percent) and one mother had less than acceptable serum retinol (less than 20 μg/dl). Additionally, 21 percent of the children and six percent of the mothers had "low" serum carotene levels. Thirty-seven percent and 57 percent of the children were at or below the tenth percentile for height and weight, respectively, when compared to Brazilian standard tables, and 30 percent were below the tenth percentile of weight for height. When compared to NCHS standard tables, 34 percent were below the tenth percentile for weight/height. Nutrition knowledge was very limited, but opportunities for nutrition education are great as mothers wanted more nutrition and feeding information. Squash, carrots and mangoes were more common sources of vitamin A than were animal sources. Multiple regression models indicated statistical significance among mothers' serum retinol, survey site, and mothers' weight/height percentile and among mothers' vitamin A intake, survey site, and mothers' ages. The data indicate that vitamin A nutrition status is suboptimal in Northeast Brazil, but appropriate food sources exist. Long-term intervention projects need to focus on increasing the production, distribution, and consumption of preformed vitamin A- and carotene-rich foods.

Abstract:
Fine and gross motor skills of the hand are essential to complete the work of surgery. During examinations and surgery, the hand becomes a surgeon and a medical professional’s first point of contact with a patient, as they use their hands to perform tasks with various tools while wearing gloves. The anthropometry of hands and the interaction of the tool can affect the probability of developing a musculoskeletal injury [3]. Tools for healthcare professionals are typically designed using male anthropometric data taken from only one position using tape measures and calipers. The problem with this approach is that humans are rarely in these positions when carrying out everyday tasks and hand measurements and form change with movement. This paper discusses a new method of capturing dynamic hand anthropometry through the use of 3D scanners, to address traditional anthropometric hand data’s limitation. Based on an initial assessment of surgical instruments, six functional hand grasps were selected and compared to traditional hand anthropometric poses. Using these poses, a pilot study with one male was conducted. In total 65 measurements were gathered through 8 poses. The positions with the largest range of measurement change were: Total Hand Length-Palmar with 48 mm, Total Hand Length-Dorsal with 39 mm, and the tip of the first digit through webspace to the tip of digit 2 (Web) with 26 mm. Understanding dimensional change in select areas of the hand is essential to developing more ergonomic, better fitting products for surgeons and medical professionals. A 26–48 mm dimensional change can have a significant impact on the positioning of surgical tool properties, as well as the functionality of the tool and precision of work for surgeons and medical professionals with different hand sizes. This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of using functional hand grasps as a basis for collecting hand anthropometric data using a 3D scanner.

Abstract:
A parametric anthropometric model of a pregnant woman has been produced for use in crash protection research. The model is based on anthropometric measurements of pregnant women, with the initial model representing a 5th percentile woman in her 30th week of gestation. The model has been developed to be easily scaleable so women of different sizes can be modeled and adapted to simulate any stage of pregnancy. Previous research has simply added an enlarged abdomen to existing females models. However the model presented describes a comprehensive depiction of the altered pregnant form by incoporating the anthropometry of the entire body. This paper presents the pregnant occupant model for use in evaluation of safety systems and vehicle interiors. This work is the first step toward a computational pregnant occupant for crash protection research, capable of simulating dynamic impact response and predicting injury risk in automobile crashes.

Abstract:
It has often been recognised that the average height of a population is influencedby the economic, social and environmental conditions in which it finds itself, andthis insight has inspired a generation of historians to use anthropometric data toinvestigate the health and wellbeing of past populations. This paper reviews someof the main developments in the field, and assesses the extent to which heightremains a viable measure of historical wellbeing. It explores a number of differentissues, including the nature of human growth; the impact of variations in diet andexposure to disease; the role of ethnicity; the relationships between height, mortalityand labour productivity; and the “social value” of human stature. It concludes that,despite certain caveats, height has retained its capacity to act as a “mirror” of theconditions of past societies, and of the wellbeing of their members.
