Objective. We measured some anthropometric dimensions of Iranian guidance school students selected from different ethnicities. Background. Anthropometric dimensions are used for design of equipment, furniture, and clothing. Furniture with inappropriate design not fulfilling the users' anthropometric dimensions may have a negative effect on health. Method. A total of 7400 Iranian guidance school students aged 12-14 years entered the study and their static anthropometric dimensions were measured. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and key percentiles were calculated. All dimensions were compared among different ethnicities and different genders. Results. This study showed significant differences in a set of 22 anthropometric dimensions regarding gender, age, and ethnicity. Conclusion. According to the results of this study, difference between genders and among different ethnicities should be taken into account by designers and manufacturers of guidance school furniture. Application. This study has prepared a data bank of anthropometric dimensions of 12-14-year-old students which can be used as basic information to find appropriate dimensions of school furniture.
目的。我们测量了从不同种族中选取的伊朗指导学校学生的一些人体测量尺寸。背景。人体测量尺寸用于设备、家具和服装的设计。设计不当、不符合使用者人体测量尺寸的家具可能会对健康产生负面影响。方法。共有7400名年龄在12至14岁的伊朗指导学校学生参与了这项研究，并测量了他们的静态人体测量尺寸。计算了诸如均值、标准差和关键百分位数等描述性统计数据。对所有尺寸在不同种族和不同性别之间进行了比较。结果。本研究表明，在22项人体测量尺寸方面，性别、年龄和种族之间存在显著差异。结论。根据本研究结果，指导学校家具的设计师和制造商应考虑性别和不同种族之间的差异。应用。本研究建立了一个12至14岁学生人体测量尺寸的数据库，可作为寻找合适学校家具尺寸的基本信息。
