Theoretical Aspects and Application of Croatian Anthropometric System

Anthropometry as one of the anthropology methods deals with measuring human body and finding the relationship in the size of its individual parts. In the production of fashion wear and footwear, anthropometric measurements are used in the field of construction and modeling, and they are obtained by anthropometric measurements of a representative sample of a certain population. The compound technological project Croatian Anthropometric System was implemented based on the Contract of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, and the entire implementation of the project is harmonized with ISO and EN standards. Within the scope of this project anthropometric measurements of 30, 866 subjects in 20 Croatian counties and in the city of Zagreb were performed.
