Abstract

Industrial anthropometric data were collected from workers in various manufacturing industries in the mid–western United States: 384 males and 124 females participated during the period from 1984 through 1991. Eleven length dimensions, weight, and age were assessed at the worksites. Descriptions and statistical analyses of the industrial anthropometric data are summarized and compared to other civilian and military anthropometric data. Significant differences between these populations exist in abdominal dimensions and weight. These differences were also observed to vary with age. These industrial anthropometric data can be used in the design of industrial workplaces and equipment as well as for use with biomechanical models.
