Anthropometry of Women of the U.S. Army--1977. Report Number 4. Correlation Coefficients

Abstract

Correlation coefficients for the 161 variables measured in the 1976- 1977 anthropometric survey of U.S. Army women are given in this document, the fourth in a series of five reports describing the results of that study. Five sets of measurements were taken in the original survey; these included a core series plus subsets of traditional, workspace, head-face and static strength measurements. Correlations are given for all core measurements, for each of the subsets, and for combinations of each subset (except the head-face group) with the core dimensions. Intended as a self-sufficient guide to designers of military clothing, equipment and workspaces, this report contains summary statistics for the five sets of measurements and height-weight regression equations to aid users in estimating given dimensions for groups or individuals for whom directly measured data do not exist. Also included here are instructions for creating regression equations from variables other than height and weight. Visual indexes for all the variables are presented for the benefit of users seeking to identify particular dimensions but who are not familiar with anthropometric terminology.
