Abstract Background Ensuring the quality of anthropometry data is paramount for getting accurate estimates of malnutrition prevalence among children aged 6–59 months in humanitarian and refugee settings. Previous reports based on data from Demographic and Health Surveys suggested systematic differences in anthropometric data quality between the younger and older groups of preschool children. Methods We analyzed 712 anthropometric population-representative field surveys from humanitarian and refugee settings conducted during 2011–2018. We examined and compared the quality of five anthropometric indicators in children aged 6–23 months and children aged 24–59 months: weight for height, weight for age, height for age, body mass index for age and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for age. Using the z-score distribution of each indicator, we calculated the following parameters: standard deviation (SD), percentage of outliers, and measures of distribution normality. We also examined and compared the quality of height, weight, MUAC and age measurements using missing data and rounding criteria. Results Both SD and percentage of flags were significantly smaller on average in older than in younger age group for all five anthropometric indicators. Differences in SD between age groups did not change meaningfully depending on overall survey quality or on the quality of age ascertainment. Over 50% of surveys overall did not deviate significantly from normality. The percentage of non-normal surveys was higher in older than in the younger age groups. Digit preference score for weight, height and MUAC was slightly higher in younger age group, and for age slightly higher in the older age group. Children with reported exact date of birth (DOB) had much lower digit preference for age than those without exact DOB. SD, percentage flags and digit preference scores were positively correlated between the two age groups at the survey level, such as those surveys showing higher anthropometry data quality in younger age group also tended to show higher quality in older age group. Conclusions There should be an emphasis on increased rigor of training survey measurers in taking anthropometric measurements in the youngest children. Standardization test, a mandatory component of the pre-survey measurer training and evaluation, of 10 children should include at least 4–5 children below 2 years of age.

Aim - definition of modern features of growth and development of children from Samara and Penza. Material and methods. Anthropometric researches (length and body mass, circumference of the chest, waist and hips) of children from Samara and Penza at the age of 7-17 years were held. 2784 healthy and almost healthy children (I and II health groups) joined the survey group: 1397 children from Samara and 1387 children from Penza. The obtained data of the average values of anthropometric characteristics of children from Penza were compared with the results of the research of the corresponding sex and age groups of schoolchildren from Samara. The statistical processing of the obtained data was made with the help of the software package SPSS 21. Results. Children from Penza in primary and middle school levels have reliably higher values of the measures of the length and body mass in comparison with the parameters of their peers from Samara. Boys from Penza in all age groups (except 12 years old boys) and girls in middle (11-14 years) and senior (15-17 years) school levels have reliably higher values of the measures of chest circumference in comparison with the parameters of their peers from Samara. Waist circumference ofboys from Penza has reliably higher values in age groups of 7, 10, 11, 13-17 years. At the same time, significant differences in the values of waist circumference of girls from Penza and Samara were not revealed. Schoolchildren from Penza in the boys’ age groups of 7-11, 13 years and girls’ age groups of 7-14 years have reliably higher values of the measures of the circumference of hips in comparison with the corresponding groups of schoolchildren from Samara. Conclusion. Revealed significant differences of anthropometric data can serve as the evidence of inhomogeneous influence of such factors as living conditions and lifestyle, environment, and educational process on the growth and development of schoolchildren from Samara and Penza.

Study Participants

The burden of malnutrition is often estimated in terms of ‘prevalence’ without considering two important contributing factors: incidence and duration. To illustrate this, we conducted a community-based retrospective cohort study involving 24,278 children enrolled in an integrated child development scheme in India. Anthropometric data of study participants from birth to five years of age were collected from the growth charts maintained by Anganwadi workers. Of all the growth charts reviewed, 1460 (6.0%) children died before their fifth birthday and 4013 (16.5%) were excluded after initial screening because either the growth chart was incomplete (4.8%) or had missing entries (11.7%). Of the remaining 20,265 children included in the study, in the first five years of their life, 35.6% suffered from exclusive moderate malnourishment and 9.4% from severe malnourishment. The most common age groups for the onset of moderate and severe malnutrition were 9–11 months and 12–15 months, respectively. The mode, median and mean duration of time spent by children being severely underweight was 3, 7 and 8.4 months respectively, and being moderately underweight was 8, 11 and 15.1 months, respectively. Thus, a comprehensive strategy for preventing the onset of malnutrition (both moderate and severe) among children is urgently needed.

Due to new circumstances of living, climate and environmental changes, varieties of human body shapes are growing. Therefore, obtaining uniformly clothes for special issues in the group of people with similar interests (dancing groups, choirs, etc.) are getting more and more complex. Besides the self-estimation and perception about the shape and size of the person varies due to different sizing from brand to brand. To dress-up the group of people with different sizes in uniformly way is not an easy task for the supplier – even if the model chosen for the gown is casual, most of the producers doesn’t apply a large scale of sizes. Frequently sizing systems do not fit to the needs of the end-users. Size marked on the clothing describes only some information about body size, if any. Therefore, part of clothing supplied is not suitable for end-user groups, but if already purchased it is decided to discard them. Such a set of circumstances, in contrast to global progress towards sustainable development, which is also based on environmental responsibility, can serve as a contributing factor to further growth in clothing consumption. The main purpose of this study is to make an insight into sizing approaches for a special group of people focusing on the best practice of human body 3D scanning. The paper outlines a certain target group’s understanding of the clothing size correspondence to their individual body characteristics. Advantages of human body scanning for analysing of body characteristics and solving sizing issues are discussed. Within the study, anthropometric data sets of 50 women group were obtained using a 3D scanner to develop the distribution of this special group into size groups and analyse individual body measurements that are significant for the design of appropriate garment patterns. Conclusions made in this paper acknowledge 3D scanning as an advantageous method for anthropometric data obtaining which are determinate for garment design and sizing system development.

The Subject

The great reserves for further increasing effectiveness of physical education of a learning youth are at secrets of age pecularities of controlling movements as well as at regularities of age changing physiological mechanisms which condition at certain measure stating moving functions of a human at an ontogenesys. The subject of these investigations are age pecularities of building and controlling movements as well as an application of these pecularities at sport and oriented physical education of a youth. Learning this question is possible from the point of view of various sciences: physiology, psychology, biomechanics, cybernetics, pedagogy. It is considered that at present the largest effect we can obtain when there is simultaneous support on all abovenamed branches of science. But when there is such various approach to this question it is important that the attention would be paid to certain object of investigation. This is the structure of psychophysical preparing of a human (PPP) which is considered at the theory of physical education as the whole structure of psychological and physical qualities; this structure determines a successfulness of moving activities ar various conditions. This article considers some results of our investigations; these results characterize pecularities of various appearences of PPP concerned to a youth of various age groups. These data we can divide into three parts: the data about cabability to mastering new moving actions; the data which characterize age pecularities of certain appearences; the data about co – called moving adaptation and a structure PPP of a learning youth.
