Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Anthropometric data from 4022 Ethiopian men aged 18-30 reveal significant variations by BMI and ethnicity. These findings are crucial for improving ready-made clothing fit for this demographic.

Area of Science:

  • Anthropometry
  • Human biology
  • Apparel science

Background:

  • Readymade clothing fit is a persistent challenge globally.
  • Understanding population-specific anthropometric data is essential for improving garment design.
  • Previous anthropometric studies in Ethiopia are limited, especially for young men.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze anthropometric measurements of Ethiopian young men (18-30 years).
  • To identify variations in measurements based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and ethnicity.
  • To provide data for enhancing the fit of ready-made clothing for this population.

Main Methods:

  • Measurement of 35 anthropometric dimensions on 4022 Ethiopian males aged 18-30 years.
  • Data collection followed ISO 8559:2017 standards.

  • Statistical analyses included analysis of variances and one-sample t-tests to compare groups and international data.

    • Main Results:

    • The average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 20.63, indicating a normal range.
    • Significant mean differences in anthropometric dimensions were found across different BMIs and ethnicities.
    • Ethiopian men's measurements were generally larger than Indian men's but smaller than Greek men's.

    Conclusions:

    • Anthropometric characteristics of Ethiopian young men vary significantly with BMI and ethnicity.
    • The collected data provides a valuable resource for the apparel industry to improve clothing fit.
    • Further research could explore regional anthropometric variations within Ethiopia.
