SummaryA Human Factors journal paper introducing YouthShape.US, a new anthropometric resource for U.S. children, documenting its 57-measure protocol, quality-control procedures, and differences from legacy and contemporary national reference data.
Why it mattersUpdated anthropometric data for U.S. youth is rare; legacy datasets are decades old, so refreshed body measurements matter for designing furniture, devices, and workstations for children.
