purpose accurate measurement or prediction of fat mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. most predictive equations currently used to assess percentage of body fat or fat mass, using simple anthropometric measurements were derived from people in western societies and they may not be appropriate for individuals with other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. we develo...

purpose the purpose of this study was to estimate the dominant handgrip strength and its correlations with some hand and arm anthropometric variables in 101 randomly selected indian inter-university female volleyball players aged 18-25 years (mean age 20.52±1.40) from six indian universities. methods three anthropometric variables, i.e. height, weight, bmi, two hand anthropometric variables, vi...

Objective. To examine whether anthropometric measures could predict diabetes incidence in a Chinese population during a 15-year follow-up. Design and Methods. The data were collected in 1992 and then again in 2007 from the same group of 687 individuals. Waist circumference, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, and waist to height ratio were collected based on a standard protocol. To assess the ...

abstract various studies carried out on different photo anthropometry, but each one had some deficiencies which during the years they have been resolved. the objective of this paper is to test the efficiency of two-dimensional image processing software in photo anthropometry of hand. in this applied research, 204 office workers and industrial workers were selected. their hands were measured by ...

INTRODUCTION In the current study, we evaluated the effect of anthropometric indices on ejection fraction following first acute anterior myocardial infarction. METHODS In an analytic-cross sectional study, 50 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and abnormal anthropometric indices (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30, Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) ≥ 1 and ≥ 0.85 in males and females respectively...

OBJECTIVES This article presented four anthropometric theories (univariate, bivariate/probability distribution, multivariate, and shape-based methods) for protective equipment design decisions. BACKGROUND While the significance of anthropometric information for product design is well recognized, designers continue to face challenges in selecting efficient anthropometric data processing method...

BACKGROUND This study is aimed to examine the appropriacy of school furniture to Iranian pupils' anthropometric features. METHODS The participants in this cross-sectional study were 493 boys and 489 girls with the age-range of 7 to 12 years who were selected through a multistage random cluster sampling procedure. Age, weight, height, and anthropometric dimensions were determined. RESULTS Th...
