“…[1] It is recommended that anthropometric data be gathered at least once every decade to account for secular trends experienced by populations as a result of improvements or deteriorations in the quality of life. [11] To visualise and consider user anthropometrics for building tools independently for diverse populations of ethnicities, regions, or nationalities in these importing countries, an international comparison measure of anthropometric dimensions should be devised among these countries. To visualise and consider the user anthropometrics, an international comparison measure of anthropometric dimensions should be devised among different countries.…”

Anthropos and Metrikos both mean "human" in Greek, which is where the term anthropometry comes from. Anthropometry is employed in a variety of fields, including apparel and textile design. For anthropometric evaluations, a current, thorough, and community-specific anthropometric normative-reference standard is necessary. In health care, ergonomic design is utilised to reduce pain and illness. Misalignments between humans and machines result in pain, accidents, biomechanical stress, tiredness, and musculoskeletal injuries. Designing for the anthropometrics of end users improves long-term viability. The human body comes in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Manual measurement and 3D scanning procedures, on the other hand, are inefficient and expensive, making precise body measurements difficult. This is especially true for head-worn medical devices. Manual measurement and 3D scanning are inefficient and expensive, making precise body measurements difficult. Grip strength and force were determined using hand measurements. Anthropometric parameter estimate is more precise when a 3D model is used to boost pinnae features. While numerous anatomical features have been gathered to aid in the ergonomic design of wearable devices, there is still a lot more work to be done. In three dimensions, the segment masses and torso Centre of Mass (COM) may be calculated. Researchers tracking mobility would benefit greatly from the ability to locate the body COM using a weighted sum of segment masses. Design features such as comfort and usefulness are crucial. Ergonomic characteristics like taller seats with front slopes and saddle chairs encourage good posture, movement, and alternation. In the creation of wearable technologies, using outdated anthropometric reference standards may be insufficient. This review discuses common issues related to anthropometry in engineering which includes the human body, anthropometric parameters, anthropometric measurements, the force plate method, ergonomic design, and body dimension. The goal is to give a broad overview of the subject.

Background As the population pyramid in Iran shifts to aging and the influence of environmental conditions on the elderly people, the need to pay attention to the foundations of well-being, security and comfort is felt more than ever. Objective The present study aimed at evaluating the urban open spaces and public buildings/places of Qazvin city in Iran as indicators of an age-friendly city based on the perception of older people and managers. Methods This is a descriptive/analytical study conducted in 2017 on 200 older people and 40 urban managers. The older people were selected by a random cluster sampling technique, and managers by a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were a demographic form and Ageing-Friendly City Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. Findings The mean age of the elderly people was 68.32±6.48 years and for the managers, it was 40.28 ±5.94 years. The mean score of public buildings/places was 3.49±1.06 reported by the elderly group and 2.64±0.77 by the managers. For urban open spaces, it was 3.06±0.89 and 2.60±0.52, respectively. There was a significant difference between the opinions of two groups regarding the two surveyed indicators (P<0.001). Conclusion The city of Qazvin is far from ideal in terms of buildings/public places and open spaces for the elderly. Therefore, urban managers should pay more attention to these indicators and take more effective steps to increase their quality.
