The present study aimed to review the changes in anthropometric dimensions around the world during the last 30 years. The search for this study was conducted in four databases with related keywords. Papers from 1990 to 2021 were reviewed and 4139 articles were identified, with 505 related titles. Of these, 187 articles met the eligibility criteria, and their whole text was examined; 132 articles were then included for the final review. The reviewed studies showed that a large number of anthropometric dimensions of the human body have become larger than in the past, such as height. Although the increasing trend of anthropometric dimensions in the past has been faster than in recent years, decreasing changes have also been seen in some anthropometric dimensions, such as the human jaw, face width and head width. It should be noted that the main reasons for the changes mentioned in the studies are economics and family income, social conditions, health and nutrition. Since the process of changes in anthropometric dimensions is not always the same, anthropometric data should be updated regularly, and work environments and equipment should be reviewed or redesigned according to the new anthropometric data.
本研究旨在回顾过去 30 年来全球人体测量维度的变化。本研究的检索在四个数据库中进行，使用了相关的关键词。共检索到 1990 年至 2021 年的 4139 篇论文，其中有 505 篇相关标题。在这些文章中，有 187 篇符合纳入标准，对其全文进行了评估；然后纳入了 132 篇文章进行最终综述。综述研究表明，人体的大量人体测量维度比过去更大，例如身高。尽管过去人体测量维度的增长趋势比近年来更快，但一些人体测量维度也出现了下降变化，例如人类的下巴、面部宽度和头部宽度。需要注意的是，研究中提到的维度变化的主要原因是经济和家庭收入、社会条件、健康和营养。由于人体测量维度变化的过程并非总是相同的，因此应定期更新人体测量数据，并根据新的人体测量数据审查或重新设计工作环境和设备。
