Considering the many emerging markets in East Asia, access to contemporary anthropometric data for this region is important for designers and manufacturers seeking to produce the best fitting products and living environments for consumers. The purpose of this paper is to describe Korean anthropometric data collection and survey techniques for those who are interested in ethnic characteristics, conducting surveys, and formulating ergonomic product designs for South Korean and, more broadly, East Asian populations. The Size Korea survey was conducted in 2003-2004 and 2010. A total of 14,200 civilians aged 0-90 years participated in the survey, with 119 body and weight dimensions measured in 2004. Twenty new dimensions from Inbody measurement were added in 2010 and the data were continuously updated. We referred to ISO 7250, 8559 and 15535 to ensure validity and reliability. Fifty major body dimensions, including weight, are summarised in this paper, and 34 of these dimensions can be compared with 11 multinational data already reported in other publications. Practitioner Summary: This paper presents the up-to-date anthropometric database of East Asian physical characteristics and survey methodology. These data satisfy the ISO standards and comprise 50 physical dimensions including weight. Thirty-four dimensions of these can be directly compared with available multinational data.
考虑到东亚有许多新兴市场，对于那些试图为消费者生产最合身产品和居住环境的设计师和制造商来说，获取该地区当代人体测量数据非常重要。本文旨在为那些对种族特征、开展调查以及为韩国乃至更广泛的东亚人群制定符合人体工程学的产品设计感兴趣的人，描述韩国人体测量数据的收集和调查技术。“韩国体型”调查于2003 - 2004年和2010年进行。共有14200名年龄在0至90岁的平民参与了调查，2004年测量了119项身体和体重维度。2010年增加了20项来自体成分测量的新维度，并且数据不断更新。我们参考了ISO 7250、8559和15535以确保有效性和可靠性。本文总结了包括体重在内的50项主要身体维度，其中34项维度可与其他出版物中已报道的11个跨国数据进行比较。从业者总结：本文介绍了东亚身体特征的最新人体测量数据库及调查方法。这些数据符合ISO标准，包括体重在内共有50项身体维度。其中34项维度可直接与现有的跨国数据进行比较。
