Antropometrické metody používané v biologické antropologii
Pavel Bláha
Anthropometrical assessment is a scientific specialization concerned with the application of measurement to appraise human size, shape, proportion, composition, maturation and gross function.
It is a basic discipline for problem-solving in matters related to growth, exercise, performance and nutrition.
The area has been defined as the quantitative interface between anatomy and physiology. It puts the individual athlete into objective focus and provides a clear appraisal of his or her structural status at any given time, or, more importantly, provides for quantification of differential growth.
There are plenty of methods used in distinguished countries. Martin-Saller method (Lehrbuch der Antropologie,1957) is mostly being used in middle Europe and other countries.
Anthropometry appears deceptively simple. Mastery, however, is somewhat analogous to playing a musical instrument with style and grace. With some formal training and persistent practice, it can be easy and enjoyable and can produce amazingly accurate data. The development of an anthropometrist’s touch is seldom achieved without extensive practice.
It varies from individual to individual, but most seem to achieve reasonable competence after triple-measurement and spot-checking for systematic error with criterion anthropometry measures on 100 or more subjects. A “criterion anthropometrist”, by definition,
is one who purportedly does not make systematic errors from a prescribed technique.
In assessing individual status with respect to a particular norm, it is necessary that a high level of precision and accuracy be attained by the measurer. Precision is a matter of how consistent a measurer is with him or herself (intra-observer reliability) or with other measurers (inter-observer reliability). Accuracy is a matter of how closely obtained measures conform to true or ideal measures. In the measurement sequence, only right side values of the subject are taken in surveys. When there is a question of bilateral asymmetry, however, both sides should be taken.

Methods of classical anthropometry hold and important place in common routine practice because they are non-invasive, relatively cheap, saving time and suitable for field work. We use two basic ways of anthropometric measurement of living persons:cephalic parametersbody parameters
a) Hlavové rozměry jsou důležité pro posouzení růstu hlavy, především v období od narození do 6 let věku dítěte. Využití: plastická chirurgie, stomatologie, stomatochirurgie.
b) Tělesné rozměry jsou důležité pro monitorování růstu, stanovení komponent tělesného složení (Matiegkovy rovnice, metoda Drinkwatera-Rosse), stanovení somatotypu (Heath-Carter method), posouzení proporcionality jednotlivce (např. Z-score, Percalovy indexy, vypracování referenčních standard). Využití: pediatrie, endokrinoloige , obezitologie, ortopedie, ergonomie, sportovní antropologie atd.
Segment lengths
General technique: The segmometer housing is held in the right hand throughout all the directlength measurements. The lengths are measured with the tape parallel to the long axis of a bone or body segment. The tape is held so the ends of the cotter pins are in contact with the marked sites atthe end of each segment or length and the reading is taken at the edge of the housing end cotter pin,at the side to which the bevel runs upward, to the nearest 0.1 cm.
Selected cephalic points GLABELLA (g)
Glabella is the most prominent midline point above the nasal root, on the lower part of the forehead between the eyebrows.NASION (n)Nasion is the point in the midline of the nasofrontal suture. The slight ridge on which it is situated can be felt by an observer’s fingernail.EURYON (eu)Euryon is the most prominent lateral point on each side of the skull found on the parietal or temporal bones. It is identified by measuring the greatest width of the head.GNATHION (gn)Gnathion is the lowest median point on the lower edge of the mandible in the most anterior position. It is identified by palpation from below.
OPISTHOCRANION (op)Opisthocranion is the point situated at the midline of the occipital bone which is most distant from the glabella.
ZYGION (zy)Zygion is the most lateral point of each zygomatic arc. It is identified by measuring the greatest width of the face.
FRONTOTEMPORALE (ft)Frontotemporale is the point on each side of the forehead, on the linea temporalis most forwards and closest to the midline, in the place where the lineas temporalis are closest together.
GONION (go)Gonion is the most lateral and interior point on the mandibular angle.

Definition of anthropological points (landmarks) Because the body can assume a variety of postures, anthropometric description is always in reference to the anatomical position. This is where the subject is oriented to a standing position with head and eyes directed forward, upper limbs hanging by the sides with the palms forward, thumbs pointing away from the sides with fingers pointing directly downward, and the feet together with the toes pointing directly forward.

Skinfolds thicknessess
The most often used data from athropometric measurement is that obtained from skinfolds. It has been very popular to use the sum of varying numbers of skinfolds to calculate percentage body fat. Any combination of skinfolds can be used, but if a realistic assessment of subcutaneous fat is to be gained, sites must be chosen from both the upper and lower body. The most commonly used combination features six sites – triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, abdominal, front thigh and medial calf.Mostly used types of caliper are Best and Harpenden (this type are much variations).
BICEPS SKINFOLD
The caliper is applied 1 cm distally from the left thumb and index finger raising a vertical fold at the marked mid-acromiale-radiale line on the anterior surface of the right arm
TRICEPS SKINFOLD
The caliper is applied 1 cm distally from the left thumb and index finger raising a vertical fold at the marked mid-acromiale-radiale line on the posterior surface of the right arm.
SUBSCAPULAR SKINFOLD
The caliper is applied 1 cm distally from the left thumb and index finger, raising a fold oblique to the inferior angle of the scapula in a direction running obliquely downwards in a lateral direction at an angle of about 45 from the horizontal along the natural fold.
SUPRAILIAC SKINFOLD
The caliper is applied 1 cm anteriorly from the left thumb and index finger raising a fold 3 cm up the border of the ilium and a line the spinale to the anterior axillary border. The fold follows the natural fold lines running medially downwards at a 45 angle from horizontal.

Our anthropometric examinations
Matiegka´s Equations
90 years ago, the Czechoslovakian anthropologist
Jindřich Matiegka proposed method for the anthropometric fractionation of body mass into four main components:
• skeletal mass
• fat mass
• muscle mass
• residual or vital organ/visceral mass (Matiegka, 1921).
WHY TO USE Matiegka´s FORMULAS?
1. They are based on European populations.2. We have proved their usefulness both theoretically
and for practice.3. The method is non-invasive, easy to use in the field,
suitable for short-time examination of patients and relatively cheap in use.
4. Matiegka´s formulas are part of a special anthropological PC programme ANTROPO, which makes automatic processing of anthropometric data possible.

The Heath-Carter somatotype methods
A somatotype is a classification of physique based on the concept of shape, disregarding size.
The pre-eminent system of somatotype classification is the Heath-Carter somatotype. This shows the relative dominance of Endomorphy (relative fatness), Mesomorphy (relative musculo-skeletal robustness) and Ectomorphy (relative linearity). Each component is identified in the sequence endomorphy-mesomorphy-ectomorphy and, when anthropometrically-derived, expressed to the nearest one-tenth rating, e.g. 1.4.-6.0-3.2, an ectomorphic mesomorph, or ecto-mesomorph. Ratings of 2 to 2.5 are considered low, 3 to 5 are moderate, 5.5 to 7 are high and 7.5 and above are very high (Carter, 1996). The derivation equations for each component are as follows.
Endomorphy-0.7182 + 0.1451*∑SF –
0.00068*∑SF2 + 0.0000014*∑SF3[where ∑SF = sum of triceps, subscapular and supraspinale skinfolds multiplied by (170.18/height in cms)]
Mesomorphy0.858*humerus breadth +
0.601*femur breadth + 0.188*corrected arm girth + 0.161*corrected calf girth – height*0.131 + 4.5
Ectomorphy
One of three equations is used depending on the value of the calculated Height Weight Ratio (HWR)
of the subject. [HWR is height/body mass333].If HWR is greater than, or equal to 40.75 then ectomorphy = 0.732*HWR – 28.58If HWR is less than 40.75 and greater than 38.25 then ectomorphy = 0.463*HWR -17.63If HWR is equal to or less than 38.25 then ectomorphy = 0.1
