Investigation of readymade garment fit issues and analysis of anthropometric measurements of Ethiopian young men
测量了4022名18-30岁埃塞俄比亚男性的35项人体尺寸,分析BMI和种族对尺寸的影响,并与印度和希腊男性对比,为改善成衣合身性提供依据。
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 t-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.
