Australia's first anthropometry dataset has revealed we are stacking on about 3kg every ten years – with big implications for transport design, including how big airline seats should be. Anthropometry is the study of measuring human body sizes and shapes. The ground-breaking study conducted by academics at the University of South Australia for partners Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and Department of Transport and Planning Victoria and funded by the iMOVE Cooperative Research Centre has produced a comprehensive anthropometric dataset for Australian adults aged 18-64 – the first time this has been done for the Australian population.
