摘要 Anthropometric data is the basis of human-centred design and is also widely used in the industrial design of clothing, furniture, sportswear, consumer product, machinery, personal protective equipment, vehicles, architectures etc. Thus, more and more countries carried out national body size survey and set up anthropometric databases. China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) undertakes national body size survey in China. The first national adult body size survey in China is carried out during 1986–1987. The first national child body size survey is carried out during 2006–2008 by CNIS. As dramatic changes in Chinese body size have taken place during the past 30 years, with the support of the National R&D Infrastructure Development Program of China, CNIS conduct the new Chinese adult anthropometric survey during 2013–2018. With a vast territory, there are great differences in the human body dimensions among different regions in China. To collect more representative human body dimensions, the stratified multistage cluster sampling method is used in the nationwide anthropometric survey. According to the anthropologic studies, the nationwide survey area are divided into 6 regions, which are northeast and north China, central and western region, the lower reach of Yangtze river and the middle reach of Yangtze river, Two Guangs and Fujian, and Yun, Gui and Sichuan. In this anthropometric survey, the 3D body scanners are mainly used, together with Martin measuring instruments for manual anthropometric measurement partly. Up to Jan. 30, 2018, the nationwide field survey has been completed, which collected over 26,000 adults from 32 cities in 24 provinces. The new Chinese adult anthropometric data and statistic reports will be released soon.
