{wiki=Anthropometric_history}
Anthropometric history is a field of study that examines the physical measurements and characteristics of human populations over time, often focusing on height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and other health-related metrics. This discipline is concerned with understanding how these measurements relate to various socio-economic, environmental, and cultural factors, thus providing insights into the living conditions, health, and nutritional status of populations across different historical periods.
