| | Anthropometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Anthropometry (Greek ανθρωπος, man, and μετρον, measure, literally meaning "measurement of humans"), in physical anthropology, refers to the measurement of living human individuals for the purposes of understanding human physical variation. | | | Bertillon's goal was to use anthropometry as a way of identifying recidivists—what we would today call "repeat-offense" criminals. | | | During the 1920s and 1930s, though, members of the school of cultural anthropology of Franz Boas also began to use anthropometric approaches to discredit the concept of fixed biological race. |

| | Anthropometry - Cambridge University Press |
| | Anthropometry is the measurement of human morphology, and is used in a wide range of applied and research contexts. | | | The use of anthropometry in assessments of body composition, physical performance and fitness is also discussed. | | | In this volume, distinguished contributors including anthropologists, human biologists, physiologists, nutritionists and clinical scientists describe many of the ways in which anthropometry is used, and discuss problems associated with different methods of assessment. |

| | Anthropometry quantifies body mass, provides a semiquantitative estimate of the components of body mass, particularly the bone, muscle, and fat compartments, and gives information concerning nutritional status. | | | Age-, sex-, and race- or ethnic-specific desirable reference values for anthropometry obtained in large numbers of MD patients are needed. | | | The risk of morbidity and mortality associated with different anthropometric measurements in MD patients should be determined. |

| | Background on anthropometry |
| | Anthropometry is the measurement of certain parameters of the human body. | | | To identify those in need of nutritional rehabilitation, a cut-off point is established below which persons are offered nutritional therapy. | | | Only recently has an attempt been made to use anthropometric methods to assess acute undernutrition in adolescents |

| | ANTHROPOMETRY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES |
| | Such a device might be useful here because some subjects in the proposed study may not be able to assume the rigid standardized postures often used in traditional anthropometry, and the Faro Arm probe might be able to access some critical body areas difficult to reach in seated subjects. | | | The purposes of this study were to (1) establish FR as a measure of the margin of stability versus the laboratory measure, center of pressure excursion (COPE); (2) test reliability and precision; and (3) determine factors that influence FR, including age and anthropometry. | | | One such is called a U-shaped sample: "When analysis of a design problem makes it clear that a design which accommodates both small and large men will of necessity accommodate those in between, it makes sense to sample only small and large men. |

| | Non-Academic Careers |
| | While an individual interested in pursuing a career in applied anthropometry may lack extensive anthropometry training, measurement experience acquired through the analysis of skeletal material may partially offset the deficiency. | | | Prior experience doing anthropometry of living subjects is most advantageous, although such training is not always readily available within anthropology graduate programs. | | | There are neither structured courses nor a specific study track for students interested in private sector careers in applied anthropometry. |

| | Anthropometry may also be used to distinguish body types such as endomorphic and mesomorphic. | | | Anthropometry literally means "measurement of humans." In physical anthropology it refers to one aspect of human variation: The different body sizes and proportions of individuals belonging to different populations. | | | Historically, the term anthropometry was applied to human measurement more generally, including the study of skeletons, and particularly skulls, of earlier populations (see craniometry). |
