Comparison of average physique and model physique
| Average | Model | Margin of error (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Male | Height (cm) | 171.4 | 172.8 | +0.82 |
| Weight (kg) | 63.3 | 65.0 | +2.69 | Female | Height (cm) | 159.1 | 160.0 | +0.57 |
| Weight (kg) | 52.6 | 53.0 | +0.76 | |
Average physique: The average values of subjects aged 18 to 30 featured in "The Japanese Body Dimensional Data for Ergonomic Design, 1996," edited by the National Institute of Bioscience and Human Technology, and issued by Japan Publication Service.
The physique of numerical human-body models
The numerical models were compared with the average physique of the Japanese people. Although both men and women showed certain deviations in the diameter of the naval-area abdominal thickness because of differences in posture during measurement of physique (numerical model: supine position; average value for Japanese people: standing position), the results show that the average difference between the numerical model and Japanese people's average physique was below 5%, indicating that these numerical models coincide more or less with the average physique of Japanese people. (The closer to 1.0 the numerical figures in the diagram are, the more similar the two models are.)
Weight of the tissues and organs of numerical human-body models
Although the organs showed certain individual differences, 60% of the tissues and organs of men and 80% of those of women differed from the average values by within 30%.
