Sources of Anthropometric Data
ANSUR II
The Anthropometric Survey of US Army Personnel
data were published internally in 2012, publicly in 2017.
Likely the most comprehensive publicly available data set on
body size and shape.
Includes 93 measures for over 6,000 adult US military personnel
(4,082 men and 1,986 women).
It is still not an approximation of the US Civilian
population.
* Consequently, while there is useful information here,
designs and standards based on these data will not
accommodate most user populations in the intended manner.
NHANES
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is
conducted continuously in the United States.
The studies started in the mid-20th century and originally targeted specific groups
(adults, children, Hispanics, etc.).
Beginning in 1999 the data were gathered continuously and
released in two year cycles.
Objective is to obtain an overall health picture of
the US civilian population, the large data set only contain a
few measures of body size and shape.
Stature, mass, BMI, and waist circumference.
