Anthropometry is defined as the comparative measurement and study of the human body. Anthropometric measurements have been used for many years to assess the nutritional status of individuals and populations in the United States. More recently anthropometric measurements have become a routine part of the nutrition assessment of surgical patients. Upper arm anthropometry and handgrip dynamometry are rapid and inexpensive tests for detecting malnutrition, but they are not useful for preoperative screening to predict postoperative morbidity because appropriate standards are missing in Europe. In a prospective study none of these preoperatively measured variables were of predictive value to postoperative complications, relating the method to its specificity, sensitivity, and validity.

Recent studies of the anthropometry and selected biomechanical characteristics of hands are summarized. These include: (1) conventional anthropometry of male and female hands, (2) the anthropometry of the relaxed hand, (3) comparison of certain engineering anthropometric and performance parameters between bare and pressure-gloved hands, and (4) the ability to retain grips on selected handles under high dynamic loads. The utility of these data for human factors engineering is discussed.

Anthropometric data can be used to identify the physical dimensions of equipment, furniture, etc. The use of furniture that fails to fulfill the anthropometric data of its users has a negative impact on human health. Specific anthropometric dimensions are necessary to design school furniture. Anthropometric data have been measured in many communities especially among schoolchildren. There are different ethnic groups with probably different anthropometric data in Iran, and anthropometric data can change by time, so gathering data about anthropometric dimensions is important. This study was designed to obtain anthropometric dimensions of Iranian children (Fars ethnicity) aged 7-11 years.In a cross-sectional study in Yazd, Iran, descriptive statistics as well as key percentiles for 17 static anthropometric data of primary school students (1015 males and 1015 females), were measured and compared between boys and girls.The age of the students was between 6 and 11 years. Mean weight was between 21.56±5.33 kg and 36.63±9.45 kg in boys and between 20.79±3.48 kg and 35.88±9.40 kg in girls. Mean height was between 1187/02±53.98 mm and 1420.83± 69.39 mm in boys and between 1173.90±51.01mm and 1421.27±70.82 mm in girls. There was also some difference in other anthropometric data between two genders.Results of this study showed some differences in anthropometric data with other studies. We also observed significant gender differences in some dimensions as well.

A total of 250 females of Alexandria chickens from egg line which selected for age of sexual maturity were divided into three groups according to their age at sexual maturity trait (X ± one unit of S.D.), as early sexual maturity (ESM) averaged (128.5 d), medium sexual maturity (MSM) averaged (152.8 d) and late sexual maturity (LSM) averaged (166.6 d). The objectives of this study were to determinate the relationship between age at sexual maturity and each of growth and egg production traits and to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlation coefficients between age at sexual maturity and studied traits. Results showed that, there were significant differences of body weight at 4 wks (202.2, 187.4 and 177.5 gm.) and at 8 wks (560.6, 502.8 and 479.0 gm.) for ESM, MSM and LSM, respectively. However, there were no significant differences of body weight at hatch day (BW0) and at sexual maturity (BWM) among these groups. These results showed that the early age at sexual maturity group had the heaviest weight till 8 weeks of age, which was not found at sexual maturity. Early age at sexual maturity group gave the highest egg number during the first 90 days after sexual maturity (42.6 eggs) compared with MSM and LSM groups (28.2 and 30.6 eggs, respectively). Also, egg mass during the first 90 days after sexual maturity was the highest value (1405.8 gm.) for early maturity group; in the meanwhile the average of egg weight was the lowest value (33.0 gm.). The genetic and phenotypic correlations of age at sexual maturity were negatively with all of body weight at 4-wk, 8-wk of age, egg number and egg mass, while they were positive with egg weight. Therefore, breeding programs aiming to reduced age at sexual maturity to obtain a high number and mass of eggs, must consider high body weight till 8-wk of age, after that restrict the body weight till sexual

Background: Present observational study, to surveying the growth of children with thalassemia from Solapur District, Maharashtra State, India. Aims: The purpose of this article is to determine the growth of thalassemia in children by analyzing age and gender. One hundred twenty five thalassemic childrens with age 6 months to 18 Years, coming for to get blood transfusion from different parts of Solapur district during June 1st , 2009 to May 1st, 2013. The questionnaires included general information, medical and dental history. Results: This clinical research studied 125 patients, 73 males and 52 females. The growth of thalassemic children was observed and compared with Indian Standard Height Chart. Normal growth was: male (13.61%), female (19.23%) avarage (16.00%); growth retardation was: male (86.30%), female (80%) averages (84.00%) were observed. Conclusions: Thalassemia major is a serious medical problem. Growth retardation is commonly seen in poly-transfused beta thalassemia patients.

The aims of this study were 1. to fix main sexual maturation signs and anthropometric measurements, and 2. to investigate relations between maturational status and main anthropometric parameters (i.e. skinfolds, girths, lengths, breadths/lengths) in 12-15-year old boys. In total, 361 boys from Tartu, Estonia, were studied. Body height and weight, 9 skinfolds, 13 girths, 8 lengths and 8 breadths/lengths were measured. Pubertal stages were determined according to the criteria described by Tanner (1962). Self-assessment of pubic hair (PH1-PH5) was used. Genital development (G1-G5) was estimated by palpating the left testis and matching the size of wood ovoid of the Prader orchidometer. Finally, boys were asked about oigarche (= age at the first ejaculation of sperm). Most of the measured anthropometric variables were significantly different in boys of different chronological age and sexual maturity groups. By linear discriminant analysis, the safety of separation of the chronological age groups was higher than by sexual maturation variables. Nonlinear discriminant analysis allowed to separate sexual maturity groups by anthropometric variables up to 99% security. It was concluded that though the growth and development of a child is highly individual, on an average the anthropometric characteristics alter very constantly with the increase of age and biological maturation. Our results indicated that there were some significant differences in the anthropometrical parameters depending on the chronological age and biological maturation. Mostly length and breadth/length parameters change during the studied age period in respect to sexual development subgroups of boys. The skinfold thicknesses were not changed or even decreased.

Anthropometry is the science of obtaining systematic measurements of the body. Anthropometry first developed in the 19th century as a method employed by physical anthropologist for the study of human variation and evolution in both living and extinct populations. The emergence of a relatively new scientific specialization called Anthropometry provides a convenient frame work for the stud of human body. The present study aimed at comparative study of anthropometric variables between rhythmic and artistic women gymnasts. The sample of study comprised of 40women gymnastic players of Rohtak. Who were selected randomly? This study was delimited on women gymnastic players. Data was collected by using weight machine and still tape. Mean S.D. and ’t’ ratios were computed to study the difference between anthropometric variables. The findings of the study revealed that there is difference between rhythmic and artistic women gymnasts in anthropometric variables is linear measurement and circumference.
