User's Guide to Accessing the Anthropometric Data Base at the Center for Anthropometric Research Data

Abstract

This document is provided to assist users in accessing the Anthropometric Data Base maintained by the Center for Anthropometric Research Data. The on-line data base was developed to be used in support of human engineering design activities. It contains several hundred measurements of the human body across large population samples from numerous published anthropometric surveys. A relational data base software package is used to manage the survey data and accommodate user queries. Access to the data base is through a menu-driven applications software package. The user may access anthropometric data by measurement title, measurement number, or by common alternate measurement name. Available data includes measurement frequency data and summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, etc.), measurement descriptions, and measurement classification by body region and measurement type. A glossary of anthropometric terms is available in the data base as well as abstracts for the various anthropometric surveys.
