    Anthropometry is the study of people's physical dimensions that provided this type of information.

    Explanation:

    The measurement of a human is called anthropometry. It has been used for identification, and for "understanding human physical variation". It involves the systematic measurement of the "physical properties of the body of human beings", primarily the body shape and size.

    Also, anthropometry played a major role in industrial designs, ergonomics, clothing designs, where the statistics about human body measurements were used to optimize the products according to their shapes and sizes. It is also to be noted that changes in body shape and size due to obesity needed a change in anthropometric data collections.
