This paper presents anthropometric data on elderly people in Australia. Data were collected in the metropolitan city of Sydney, NSW, Australia. In all 171 elderly people (males and females, aged 65 years and above) took part in the study. Mean values, standard deviations, medians, range, and coefficients of variation for the various body dimensions were estimated. Correlation coefficients were also calculated to determine the relationship between different body dimensions for the elderly population. The mean stature of elderly Australian males and females were compared with populations from other countries. The paper discusses design implications for elderly people and provides several examples of application of the anthropometric data.
本文展示了澳大利亚老年人的人体测量数据。数据收集于澳大利亚新南威尔士州的首府城市悉尼。共有171名老年人（65岁及以上的男性和女性）参与了该研究。估算了各种身体尺寸的平均值、标准差、中位数、范围和变异系数。还计算了相关系数，以确定老年人群体不同身体尺寸之间的关系。将澳大利亚老年男性和女性的平均身高与其他国家的人群进行了比较。本文讨论了对老年人设计的影响，并提供了人体测量数据应用的几个实例。
