Anthropometry of industrial populations
Article Abstract:
A comparative anthropometric survey of industrial and military populations was carried out to note measurement variations. Anthropometric surveys were taken from military populations and come up with a model for military design purposes. The model based on anthropometric data provides an appropriate means to accomodate most of military and industrial populations. The survey revealed significant differences exist in abdominal and weight measurements for the male population in particular and only a slight variation for females.
