Assessing Virtual Anthropometric Measurements and Quantifying Their Relationship to Osteometric Measurements Using Computed Tomography Scans From an Online Database

Anthropometric measures can be precisely defined in a replicable manner in virtual spaces, and linear measurements taken osteologically are comparable to those taken anthropometrically. However, circumferential measures are more impacted by threshold choice and soft tissue variation than linear measurements. Anthropometrically and osteometrically defined circumferential correlates should be compared with caution. Pelvic breadth measurements may only be comparable in individuals with BMIs < 25.

Abstract

Anthropometric measures can be precisely defined in a replicable manner in virtual spaces, and linear measurements taken osteologically are comparable to those taken anthropometrically. However, circumferential measures are more impacted by threshold choice and soft tissue variation than linear measurements. Anthropometrically and osteometrically defined circumferential correlates should be compared with caution. Pelvic breadth measurements may only be comparable in individuals with BMIs < 25.
