“…with International Databases Anthropometric mean values of the Ethiopian army were compared with other countries like Korea 13 , India 14 , and USA 55 . Those countries were chosen for comparison test based on the availability of the army anthropometric data and diversity of the population among Western and Eastern worlds 16,17 . The comparison of Ethiopian anthropometric mean values along with its significance with the mentioned countries is shown in Fig.…”

“…The nutrition level/ living facilities provided to the soldiers of countries like America make their physique comparatively better than soldiers from other countries. Thus, generally, they have larger body sizes 17 , whereas Asian people (including army population) have a smaller body size (particularly in limb measurement) in comparison to American people due to geographical diversity 16 . Thus, it is essential to understand the difference in anthropometric data of Ethiopian army personnel with other national databases, so that the design of products and workplaces used by soldiers can be improved.…”

The anthropometric characteristics of the users depend upon the topography, nutrition, age, ethnicity, gender, and living conditions, and play a crucial role in the design of the equipment and the workspace to be used by them. This study aims to establish an anthropometry database for male Ethiopian army personnel and investigate the anthropometric variability across ethnicity, age, and with other countries, with the intention to facilitate ergonomic design and development of various facilities (e.g., equipment/ devices, and workspaces) for the Ethiopian army. Following the reliability assessment of the physical measurement technique, the anthropometric data from 250 Ethiopian male army personnel (four different ethnic groups at different age levels) were collected, and normality of the data set was tested. The anthropometric database of Ethiopian army personnel in terms of range, mean, standard deviation, percentile values (5th, 50th, and 95th) was documented. PCA was applied to select a smaller representative by reducing a larger set of variables for further statistical analysis and applications. ANOVA and follow-up posthoc test (Tukey’s HSD test) were carried out to compare anthropometric differences among different age groups and ethnic variations. The mean anthropometric differences were also compared with databases from other countries (India, Korea, and USA) using t-test. Significant variations were found when the anthropometry was compared between age, ethnicity, and cross-nationals. The findings indicate that variations in age, ethnicity, and geographical factors could have a significant impact on the ergonomic design of equipment and workspaces of Ethiopian army personnel.
