A survey of hand anthropometry of Bangladeshi agricultural farm workers

摘要

The target of this investigation was to represent an anthropometric dataset of hand dimensions from agricultural farm workers in two different areas of Bangladesh. A total of 200 farm workers (110 males and 90 females) age between 15 and 52 years-old were included as voluntary participants from two regions of Bangladesh. 27 hand dimensions were measured, recorded, and analysed from the sample populations. The mean, standard deviation, and different percentile esteems of collected data were also estimated and recorded. Moreover, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and t-statistical tests were performed for making the anthmpometric comparison among different populaces. Results showed that all the hand dimensions of the males were higher than that recorded for the female participants of Bangladesh. In addition, the outcomes showed noteworthy contrasts in hand measurements among Bangladeshi people and other considered populaces. The result of this examination is expected to influence the design of agricultural hand tools, machinery, and equipment in Bangladesh from industrialized countries. It will also generate the interest of more anthmpometric studies in Bangladesh that are related to the design of hand tools or equipment for work or other activities.
