This paper presents analyses of anthropometric measurements of Ethiopian young men aged 18-30 years and draws implications for the improvement of the fit of readymade clothing. Thirty-five anthropometric dimensions of 4022 subjects were measured according to ISO 8559:2017. The anthropometric dimensions were described with mean, standard deviation, and some percentiles. Differences in the anthropometric measurements with the body mass index (BMI) and ethnicity of the subjects were examined by analysis of variances. Furthermore, differences in some anthropometric measurements from that of Indian and Greek young men of similar ages were tested by one-sample -tests. The result showed that the average BMI of the subjects was 20.63 which is normal. Statistically significant mean differences were observed among the subjects with different BMIs and ethnicities in most of the anthropometric dimensions. The anthropometric measurements of the subjects were mostly larger than the Indians and smaller than the Greek men.
本文对 18-30 岁埃塞俄比亚年轻男性的人体测量数据进行了分析，为改进成衣的合身度提供了依据。根据 ISO 8559:2017，对 4022 名受试者的 35 个人体测量尺寸进行了测量。用均值、标准差和一些百分位数来描述人体测量尺寸。通过方差分析检查了人体测量尺寸与受试者的体重指数（BMI）和种族之间的差异。此外，通过单样本检验测试了一些人体测量尺寸与年龄相仿的印度和希腊年轻男性的差异。结果表明，受试者的平均 BMI 为 20.63，属于正常范围。在大多数人体测量维度中，不同 BMI 和种族的受试者之间存在统计学上显著的均值差异。受试者的人体测量尺寸大多大于印度人，小于希腊人。
