Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Anthropometry, the study of human body measurements, plays a crucial role in various disciplines, including ergonomics, forensic science, medicine, and physical anthropology. This paper explores the different anthropometric research methods, their applications, advantages, and limitations. It categorizes these methods into traditional and modern techniques, discussing manual anthropometry, 3D scanning, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The study also highlights challenges in standardization and ethical considerations in anthropometric research. Furthermore, this paper examines the implications of anthropometric research in public health policy, its role in evolutionary biology, and its contribution to biomedical engineering.
