introduction: in order to make a dimensional proportion between human and equipment or environment, anthropometric data bank is essential. anthropometry has an important role in industrial management and ergonomic design. this information is needed to be collected regularly in every society. the purpose of this study was to determine arm length to height ratio according to gender in adults, bet...

crown to heel, crown to rump, weight, gead circumference of normal newborns (m=792) were measured in a hospital in hamadan, iran during two months, in spring, 1995. the mean c.h. for males was 48.2 cm. and for females 47.5 cm. ; the mean c.r. for males was 33.3 cm and for females 32.73 cm.; the mean weight for males was 3.30 kg and for females 2.29 kg and finally the mean head circumference for...

Background  Short stature is a manifestation of a wide variety of conditions that some of which may be amenable to timely treatment and a suboptimal growth rate may be an early marker pointing to the cause of growth retardation. This study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic utility of growth rate in differential diagnosis of children with short stature. Materials and Methods All children ...

Introduction: Estimation of stature is one of the most important fields in forensic medicine. Also it is of particular interest to anthropologists and anatomist. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between stature and the length of lower limb and foot to derive a regression formula for estimating the stature. Methods: Three anthropometric measurements Stature, Lower Limb Length (LL...

Introduction: The stature is one of the determinant factors to identify a person. We investigated the possibility of predicting stature based on Fingers Length in Iranians. Methods: We studied 195 healthy Iranian students (97 females and 98 males) of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The correlation between stature and fingers anthropometric measurements was investigated and equations for...

Mean stature in a population has been observed to vary with living conditions. If, and how, this affects sexual dimorphism in stature is not fully understood. We analyzed stature data from Swedish populations from the 10th to the end of the 20th century to investigate if male stature is more plastic than female stature in response to environmental changes. Further, we examined if there, as a co...
