Body parameters of the Czech adult population: Insights from the A.D.A.P.T. software platform samples
Original language description
Knowledge of body parameters of the population is fundamental for effectively fabricating all products designed to fit the human body. This article presents and discusses the body parameters of the current adult Czech population, as captured in three datasets from 2015 to 2022. Anthropometric data for a total of 519 individuals were obtained through a combination of direct anthropometry and measurements taken via 3D models. In accordance with current ISO standards (ISO 7250-1, ISO, 20685-1 + 2), a total of 20 body parameters were measured. The sample was further supplemented by selfreported weight and stature information from 507 Czech individuals. All recorded data were processed into sex- and age-stratified descriptive statistics and compared with older data for the Czech population as well as relevant datasets from other European countries. The body parameters of the Czech population were close to those of Central and Northern European populations. At the same time, Czechs systematically and consistently differ in certain specific dimensions, such as tibial height. Our cross-sectional sample further revealed that the secular increase in height dimensions has plateaued in the Czech population. Nevertheless, its past dynamics are still evident in systematic differences between age categories. Such variability should be considered, for example, when designing products intended for individuals in the post-productive age. It is also evident that the population continues to experience a dynamic increase in width and circumference dimensions. This ongoing trend underscores the necessity of regularly updating population data. The research is linked to the creation of the A.D.A.P.T. software platform, which provides free access to the original data and records.
