| description | The anthropometric measurements needed for school furniture assessment can be difficult, time-consuming, and
expensive to obtain. However, assessment can be important since sitting in the wrong position too long on inappropriate school
furniture may lead to negative health effects in both the short- and long-term. Therefore, this paper proposes a relatively simple
methodology to evaluate school furniture suitability using only height and weight measurements and simple linear regression
models for the relevant anthropometric values. The models were used to examine possible incompatibility between student body
dimensions and the dimensions of school furniture. The results obtained by the proposed method were confirmed by repeating the
furniture assessment using actual anthropometry data from the population which yielded mis-match differences of 8% or less. |
