An appropriate match between a product and its end-users requires anthropometric data, which show variations among different countries. Proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) fit is key for safety and comfort. Chile had no head and facial anthropometric data available in order to design face/head PPE.
To describe face/head anthropometric characteristics of Chilean workers. Additionally, this study compared those dimensions against other populations (United States (US), South Korea and China).
An anthropometric survey involving 21 measures was conducted between September 2013 to May 2016 using stratified sampling. The measurements were based on ISO/TS 16976-2 and ISO 15535 to ensure the highest standards possible, and a total of 474 workers, aged from 18 to 66 years old, participated in the survey.
The biggest differences were in Neck circumference, Weight, Nose breadth, Nose protrusion, Bitragion chin arc, Face length, Subnasale-sellion length, Face width, Bigonial breadth and Bitragion subnasal arc. Head length of Chileans were longer than Chinese and South Korean ones, but shorter than US Head length. Chilean Head breadth is smaller than Chinese and South Korean ones. Chileans Face length was the largest observed. Face width of Chileans was smaller than US and Chinese ones. Gender specific differences were also observed in the inter-country comparisons. Chilean males had larger anthropometric dimensions than females.
Chilean Head and face dimensions differed significantly when compared against US, South Korean and Chines Head and Face dimensions. Chileans have longer and narrower faces with wider mouths, with a head size in between the US and Asian heads. Face and head PPE for Chileans should use dimensions in the current paper in order to ensure proper fit.
产品与其最终用户之间的恰当匹配需要人体测量数据，而这些数据在不同国家存在差异。合适的个人防护装备（PPE）尺寸对于安全和舒适度至关重要。智利没有可用于设计面部/头部PPE的头部和面部人体测量数据。
描述智利工人的面部/头部人体测量特征。此外，本研究将这些尺寸与其他人群（美国、韩国和中国）进行了比较。
2013年9月至2016年5月期间，采用分层抽样进行了一项涉及21项测量的人体测量调查。测量基于ISO/TS 16976-2和ISO 15535，以确保尽可能高的标准，共有474名年龄在18至66岁之间的工人参与了调查。
最大的差异在于颈围、体重、鼻宽、鼻突度、双耳点-颏下点弧、脸长、鼻下点-蝶鞍点长度、脸宽、下颌角间宽和双耳点-鼻下点弧。智利人的头长比中国人和韩国人的长，但比美国人的头长短。智利人的头宽比中国人和韩国人的小。观察到智利人的脸长最大。智利人的脸宽比美国人和中国人的小。在国家间比较中也观察到了性别特异性差异。智利男性的人体测量尺寸比女性大。
与美国、韩国和中国人的头部和面部尺寸相比，智利人的头部和面部尺寸存在显著差异。智利人的脸更长、更窄，嘴巴更宽，头部尺寸介于美国人和亚洲人之间。为确保合适的尺寸，智利人的面部和头部PPE应采用本文中的尺寸。
