Anthropometric Data

This study presents comparisons of ethnic difference in anthropometric characteristics among four peoples, i.e., Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese, in East Asia. Applied Ergonomics 35 (2004) 173–178.

In 1991-1992, a study measured Japanese body dimensions data for ergonomic design. In Japanese only, however, there is a list of measurement items which has English names that link to the data sheet images.

In 1997-1998, anthropometric data was collected from about 300 Japanese of both sexes for a project to develop an anthropomorphic test dummy (1994-1999). The body dimension data is now available free of charge for personal, non-profit, non-commercial, or educational use.
