	Anthropometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anthropometry demonstrated in an exhibit from a 1921 eugenics conference.
		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.
		Anthropometry, however, gradually fell into disfavour, and it has been generally supplanted by the superior system of finger prints.

	K/DOQI Update 2000
		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.
		Anthropometry requires precise techniques of measurement and the use of proper equipment to give accurate, reproducible data; otherwise, the measurements may give quite variable results.
		Methods for performing anthropometry and calculating body composition from these measurements and reference tables are presented in Appendix VII.

	Background on anthropometry
		Anthropometry is the measurement of certain parameters of the human body.
		Anthropometry is also used to determine the prevalence of undernutrition in a population.
		Anthropometry can provide an estimate of the prevalence of undernutrition, but evaluations of food security, food distribution, nutrient content, morbidity and mortality, and other elements are needed to understand the causal factors resulting in undernutrition

	anthropometry
		Anthropometry is the study of human body measurement for use in anthropological classification and comparison.
		In the 19th and early 20th centuries, anthropometry was a pseudoscience used mainly to classify potential criminals by facial characteristics.
		The most infamous use of anthropometry was by the Nazis, whose Bureau for Enlightenment on Population Policy and Racial Welfare recommended the classification of Aryans and non-Aryans on the basis of measurements of the skull and other physical features.

	ANTHROPOMETRY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
		In a recently published review of the anthropometry of people with disabilities (Kumar, 1997), A. Goswami examined six international studies of people with lower limb disorders and discovered that, for a combined total of 58 body size descriptors measured in the studies, not a single dimension was found in common.
		These and similar findings are illustrative of the current state of affairs in regard to anthropometry of this group of individuals.
		So poor is the status of applied anthropometry on U.S. civilians that the last major survey containing significant data applicable to design was completed in 1962 (Stoudt et al., 1965).

		Anthropometry tables give measurements of different body parts for men and women, and split into different nationalities, and age groups, from babies to the elderly.
		Percentiles are shown in anthropometry tables and they tell you whether the measurement given in the tables relates to the 'average' person, or someone who is above or below average in a certain dimension.
		There are many sources of information about anthropometry that provide tables or help you to find dimensions that you are looking for.

	Fetal growth is directly related to maternal anthropometry and placental volume (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Maternal anthropometry and other nutritional characteristics are known to influence birth weight (Kramer, 1987; Thame et al, 1997), and in turn, weight at birth is related to neonatal outcome and perinatal mortality (McCormick, 1985).
		There is an extensive literature describing the effect of maternal anthropometry on birth weight, but there is a paucity of information describing the relationships between and among maternal anthropometry, placental volume in early pregnancy, and fetal size.
		The aim of this study was to describe the relationships between maternal weight and weight gain, placental volume and the rate of placental growth in early pregnancy and sonographic measurements of fetal dimensions.

	The Klein Mystery
		It was the combination of Tinguely's machine and the constant influence of the naked bodies that led him to his next artistic revelation that would become known as, Anthropometry.
		The method for the anthropometric works was to cover a model in his Blue and have her spread the paint over the surface to be painted under Klein's strict direction.
		So, it was not until February of 1960 that Klein publicly presented another Anthropometry, only this time he ensured that the setting would elicit an artistic air.
