Objective: Measuring anthropometry of subjects to reflect in new pillow designs aiming at optimal position while sleeping. Method: 102 adult subjects with age of 19 or more were recruited for this study. Outcome measures 17 anthropometry were measured using an sliding caliper, anthropometer, a measuring tape, and a pen for point indication. Extra 5 dimensions were obtained while conducting this study. Results: The outcome had found that there are differences between males and females in body anthropometry. For male and female subjects, the distance between Occiput and the wall surface was 28.84 ㎜ and 23.02 ㎜ each; and the distance between neck and the wall surface was 43.99 ㎜ and 49.09 ㎜. The distance between ear and shoulder was 141.96 ㎜ and 121.94 for male and female subjects, and the distance between neck and shoulder was 152.38 ㎜ and 139.8 ㎜ for each. These findings suggest that the height of a pillow should be different between supine and lateral position, by 113.12 ㎜ from the head, and 108.39 ㎜ from the neck for male, and 98.92 ㎜ from the head, and 90.71 ㎜ from the neck for female. Conclusion: The study indicates that there are differences in anthropometry between supine and lateral position for both gender; and there are gender differences in anthropometry. The new pillow design should reflect these findings.

Purpose: Direct anthropometry is an ideal method for preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation in plastic surgery, but it requires highly skilled specialty. Indirect anthropometry, especially photogrammetry, is an alternative method. In photogrammetry, standardized clinical photography is essential. Photogrammetry-based standardized clinical photography has several advantages over direct anthropometry. It is easier to measure and has less chance to make errors during measurement. Furthermore, it is possible to repeat measurements, and available for follow up study based on permanent custody. But, it is still different from actual measurement, and inherently less accurate than anthropometry. Methods: The authors revised the standardized clinical photography and then, carried out photogrammetry using Photoshop(Adobe, U.S.A.), and compared each data with those of anthropometry. The subjects were 50 males and 50 females, undergraduate medical students in twenties. Standard head position was obtained from the wire, fixed to cephalostat which indicates the Frankfort horizontal plane. All photographs were taken at the same situation such as fixed position of light, subject and camera, etc. Results: Total 96 measurements, based on 40 landmarks, consist of linear measurements, angular measurements and inclinations include 3 measurements in head, 22 in face, 15 in orbit, 28 in nose, 16 in lip and mouth, and 12 in ear. Conclusion: Normal photogrammetric data of face of Korean in twenties was obtained. Reliable photogrammetric measurements, not significantly different from anthropometric measurement statistically, accounted for 44 in 96 measurements(45.8%). Anthropometric values different from those of photogrammetric values were obtained by multiplying coefficient by photogrammetric value.

Naini, Farhad B.,Akram, Sarah,Kepinska, Julia,Garagiola, Umberto,McDonald, Fraser,Wertheim, David Korean Association of Maxillofacial Plastic and Re 2017 Maxillofacial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery Vol.39 No.-

Background: The aim of this study is to validate a new three-dimensional craniofacial stereophotogrammetry imaging system (3dMDface) through comparison with manual facial surface anthropometry. The null hypothesis was that there is no difference between craniofacial measurements using anthropometry vs. the 3dMDface system. Methods: Facial images using the new 3dMDface system were taken from six randomly selected subjects, sitting in natural head position, on six separate occasions each 1 week apart, repeated twice at each sitting. Exclusion criteria were excess facial hair, facial piercings and undergoing current dentofacial treatment. 3dMDvultus software allowed facial landmarks to be marked and measurements recorded. The same measurements were taken using manual anthropometry, using soluble eyeliner to pinpoint landmarks, and sliding and spreading callipers and measuring tape to measure distances. The setting for the investigation was a dental teaching hospital and regional (secondary and tertiary care) cleft centre. The main outcome measure was comparison of the craniofacial measurements using the two aforementioned techniques. Results: The results showed good agreement between craniofacial measurements using the 3dMDface system compared with manual anthropometry. For all measurements, except chin height and labial fissure width, there was a greater variability with the manual method compared to 3D assessment. Overall, there was a significantly greater variability in manual compared with 3D assessments (p < 0.02). Conclusions: The 3dMDface system is validated for craniofacial measurements.

In research for investigation of static balance performance, postural sway variables have often been normalized by each subject’s height. However, evidence for such normalization has been insufficient. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of anthropometry with postural sway and their possible gender differences. Forty young subjects (20 men and 20 women) performed quiet standing on a force platform in feet-together stance. Significant gender differences were observed in the correlation of outcome measures with anthropometry. In women, postural balance performance deteriorated (sway size increased and mean stable time reduced) and sway frequencies increased with height and weight. In contrast, men showed insignificant change in balance performance, but a reduction in sway frequency with height and weight. Stepwise multiple regressions revealed that height and weight were the major determinants of outcome measures, and that their effects on outcome measures differed between genders. Extreme care must be taken in normalization of postural sway variables by anthropometric data.

Objective: This study investigated how well the present national sizing database such as Size Korea adopted by the companies and industries in Korea, in particular how well the dynamic anthropometric data are used. Background: The dynamic anthropometric data collection had begun since 1996 in South Korea. The dynamic anthropometric data can contribute to a more appropriate design of workplaces, tools, and the equipment’s which indirectly will produce a positive impact on workers’well-being, increase productivity, and overall process improvement. Even though there have been lots of applications of dynamic data, the usability of those data among the Korean industries are limited. Method: The investigation consisted of 3 stages were literature review, expert review and in-depth interview. The literature review was conducted in PubMed using combinations of keywords (for example: dynamic anthropometry, dynamic anthropometry application, applicability of anthropometric data, furniture design and so on). A total of 1,000 participants were recruited from Korean civilian for online survey. For online survey, the survey questionnaire was developed by the experts in the field of anthropometry. Finally, the in-depth interview was conducted with the industrial professionals and professors. Results: This study found that many companies needed various dynamic anthropometric data particularly automobile, heavy equipment, medical, ship, mattress, construction industries needed various dynamic anthropometric data namely ROM, the angle between the body parts, spine curvature data, center of pressure and so on. Conclusion and Application: The inclusion of those dynamic anthropometric data in the national sizing database could benefit industries for effective product design and increase the usability of products.

The association of cold-heat (CH) pattern and anthropometry/body composition has been suggested in that they are related to thermoregulation. We aimed to study the association of CH pattern and anthropometry/body composition. A total of 1479 individuals aged 50–80 years were included in the study, and their CH pattern were evaluated by a self-administered questionnaire. After adjustment for age and sex, the CH score were significantly correlated with weight, BMI (body mass index), body surface area, waist-hip ratio, fat free mass, body fat mass, body cell mass, intracellular water, extracellular water, and basal metabolic rate; however, the correlation coefficients were mostly low (0.15–0.24). The selected variables for predicting CH score were various according to the methods used for variable selection; however, the adjusted R-squared of the final models were all around 0.12. Thus the most parsimonious model could be the one that includes sex and BMI. In conclusion, various anthropometry and body composition indices were associated with CH pattern. Future studies are necessary to improve the performance of the prediction model.

Dohyung Kee 대한인간공학회 2012 大韓人間工學會誌 Vol.31 No.1

Objective: This study aims to investigate relationship between representative anthropometric dimensions and income levels for Korean from 1958 to 1989. The anthropometric dimensions include stature and body weight, and GNP per head was used as an index of income level. Background: Although anthropometric dimensions were affected by varying factors such as genetic, environmental and socioeconomic factors, most studies on anthropometry have focused on measurement methods, providing data and their characteristics. Method: Anthropometric data were retrieved from homepages of Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, and Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism, and GNPs per head by year from Korean Statistical Information Service. Results: During analysis period, statures and body weights for males and females increased by 6.4㎝ and 6.1㎝, 10.7㎏ and 4.0㎏, respectively. Infants’ stature and body weight nearly linearly increased with GNPs per bead. Anthropometric dimensions of stature and body weight were very positively correlated with GNPs per head. Conclusion: This study revealed that income levels significantly affect stature and body weight. Application: The results would be used as a valuable basic data when establishing government policies related to anthropometry.

이정우,김동규,추승균,조병채,이경영 대한미용성형외과학회 2017 Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Vol.23 No.3

Background A quantitative, rather than visual, assessment of the outcomes of facial surgery has recently become increasingly important, and this is best accomplished using anthropometry. However, most anthropometric methods have limited applicability in office settings. Methods We conducted preliminary studies on images of a 30-cm straight edge ruler with various camera-to-object distances (OD) and aperture sizes, and identified a convenient range of ODs and the most reliable aperture size of our camera for photogrammetry. Subsequently, we measured various lengths circumjacent to the center of the ruler in the images of different ODs with a graphics viewer program and calibrated the raw data using the central 20-mm length. We obtained a reliable circle in our camera’s viewfinder from a chart of percentage differences between the calibrated data and coupled real ruler lengths. Following this, we replaced the concept of the central 20-mm length with a geometric sphere 20-mm in diameter, and applied it to clinical photogrammetry. Results The percentage differences were almost directly proportional to the real lengths. This value was below 0.48% in the central 160-mm of all images within an OD range of 50 to 125 cm. In clinical applications, the greatest difference compared to direct measurements was 0.97 mm. Conclusions Using a graphics viewer program, we performed anthropometric measurements of images that included a sphere of known size, without printing the images; the difference between these and direct measurements was <1 mm. This method is simple enough for use in an office setting.
