Detail

Anthropometry of Indian School Children is a design-orientated research publication that presents systematic body measurement data of Indian school children, intended to support human-centred design and ergonomics applications. Compiled through structured anthropometric measurement methods and statistical analysis, the publication provides reference data that can help designers, educators, and manufacturers create products, furniture, learning environments, and systems suited to Indian children’s physical characteristics. The work reflects the need for region-specific anthropometric datasets, since such data plays a critical role in improving usability, safety, comfort, and overall design relevance for children in real-world contexts.
