摘要 This paper presents the results of a nationwide anthropometric survey conducted on children in China. Seven head dimensions (head length, head breadth, head height, head circumstance, face length, sagittal arc and bitragion arc) were measured from 20,000 children with age ranged from 4 to 17 years old. Mean values, standard deviations for the seven items in five age groups were calculated. The head dimension differences between different age groups and two genders were discussed. It was found that the mean values of the head dimensions showed a gradual increase by age, and there are also differences between the two genders. The two-dimensional distribution of head length and head breadth were established, which could provide data support for relevant products design.
