The data about body height and weight is the basic data information in anthropometric study. Firstly, this paper gave the direct comparison
among these countries based on analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of
ANOVA showed that gender and country were both significant factors for analyzing body height or weight in these countries. No interaction effect exists between the two factors. Based on the average data and percentile values of
weight we can conclude that these eight countries fall into three groups: The
Netherlands and United States had significantly larger weight than the other six
countries ; China and India had the smallest weight. As expected, men are taller
than women. In general, the rank order of samples with regard to height was
similar in men and women. Men and women in The Netherlands were the tallest
and people in India the shortest. There was a strong linear association between
height and weight in men and women. Secondly, height and weight inference
were conducted based on the ergonomic data in these countries. The relation between human height with the main body indexes was established using classical
regression analysis. The obtained results could be a reference for designing the export clothes and food to these countries. |
