Anthropometry is the hallmark technique of biological anthropology, and has become increasingly important in health assessments across this century. Although the need for accurate anthropometric measurement has been repeatedly stressed, the ways in which measurement error can influence the characteristics of anthropometric data is poorly appreciated. In this article, guidelines for acceptable measurement error are examined critically, and in light of repeat measurements data collected by the two authors on adults in Papua New Guinea.
人体测量学是生物人类学的标志性技术，在本世纪的健康评估中变得越来越重要。尽管准确的人体测量的必要性已被反复强调，但测量误差影响人体测量数据特征的方式却鲜为人知。在本文中，我们将根据两位作者收集的关于巴布亚新几内亚成年人的重复测量数据，对可接受测量误差的指导方针进行严格审查。
