  • Abstract
    Research on anthropometry, nowadays, becomes more essential and important due to the complexity of products, devices, equipment and systems for users. The most challenging part in anthropometry study is that the lack of sufficient valid, reliable and sustainable anthropometric data for certain nationalities. According to recent studies, an attempt to provide a comprehensive anthropometric measurement system has been conducted. Following to the previous study by Drillis and Contini, this study uses a similar methodology on how to predict any anthropometric measures through sufficient accuracy from a single measure of stature and weight, taken from 119 Indonesian adults. The expected contribution of this study is that to find which measures are significantly associated with stature and weight, respectively. It is of highly beneficial for product designers and any human-work system interactions.
