Abstract

Body height and weight are the most prominent parameters of body shape characteristics. Many body parameters are related to stature and weight. Based on the data of the second national anthropometric survey conducted from 2014 to 2018, this study analyzed five data of foot length, foot width, foot circumference, toe height and tarsal point height for male and female, and established the multivariate linear regression equation between foot items and stature and weight. The regression equation can be used as the basis of ergonomic product design.
