    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric anthropometry
    • Medical imaging
    • Biometrics

    Background:

    • Traditional anthropometric measurements are time-consuming and require specialized tools.
    • An alternative digital photography-based method was developed to simplify anthropometry.
    • The goal is to make anthropometry more accessible and user-friendly for pediatricians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel photogrammetric method for anthropometric measurements in children.
    • To assess the feasibility and accuracy of digital photography compared to manual measurements.
    • To improve the efficiency and ease of use of anthropometry in pediatric settings.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 54 children aged 2 to 18 years.
    • Comparison of manual anthropometric measurements with measurements obtained via photogrammetry.
    • Validation of the photogrammetric technique through correlation and difference analysis.

    Main Results:

    • High inter-observer correlations (≥0.96) were achieved for most measurements.
    • Photogrammetric measurements showed strong agreement with manual measurements (correlations ≥0.92).
    • Mean differences between methods ranged from 0.6-1.3 cm, demonstrating good accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Photogrammetric anthropometry is a viable, efficient, and user-friendly alternative to traditional methods.
    • The digital photography approach offers increased flexibility for pediatricians.
    • This method enhances the practicality of anthropometric assessments in clinical practice.
