According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anthropometry is the single most portable and universally applicable technique for assessing human size, proportions, and composition. It is a systematic, non-invasive process that involves taking physical measurements of the human body to evaluate health, nutrition, and development. This versatile tool has applications across various disciplines, from medicine to industrial design.

The word 'anthropometrics' literally translates from Greek to 'measurement of people'. It is a scientific field that studies the systematic measurement of the human body, a practice that has been applied for centuries to understand physical variations and optimize how we interact with our environment.
