    Anthropometry is the science of measuring the size, weight, proportions, and mobility of the human body. It involves measurements of an individual's size, shape, and composition, as well as designing for different body sizes. Basic body measurements describe an individual or population's characteristics, while some measurements correlate to sports performance and others are used in public health and nutrition surveys.

    It also means measurement of the mobility of the human body and the various
    ways of designing for different sizes.

    Body measurements can be used to describe the size, shape (form or structure), and
    composition of individuals.

    Basic measurements are used to describe an individual’s or population’s, while


    some measurements are used for correlation with performance in sports; others are
    used in public health and nutrition survey
