Current anthropometric studies are carried out to investigate the evolutionary significance of differences in body proportion between populations whose ancestors lived in different environments. Human populations exhibit patterns of climatic variation similar to those of other large-bodied mammals, following Bergmann's rule, which states that individuals in cold climates will tend to be larger than those in warm climates, and Allen's rule, which states that individuals in cold climates tend to have shorter and stubbier limbs than those in warm climates.

At a microevolutionary level, anthropologists use anthropometric variation to reconstruct small-scale population history. For example, John Relethford's studies of anthropometric data from early 20th century Ireland show that geographical patterns of body proportions still show traces of the English and Norse invasions centuries ago.

Similarly, anthropometric indices, i.e. comparison of human height, were used to illustrate anthropometric trends. This study was conducted by Jörg Baten and Sandew Hira and was based on anthropological findings that human height is predetermined by the quality of nutrition, which tended to be higher in more developed countries. The research was based on data sets of indentured migrants from southern China who were sent to Suriname and Indonesia and included 13,000 people.

Anthropometry is considered the science that studies the measurements of the human body in order to establish differences between individuals, groups, races, etc. This science finds its origin in the 18th century in the development of comparative racial anthropometry studies by physical anthropologists; although it was not until 1870 with the publication of Anthropométrie, by the Belgian mathematician Quételet, when its discovery and scientific structuring is considered. But it was from 1940, with the need for anthropometric data in industry, specifically war and aeronautics, when anthropometry was consolidated and developed, due to the global war context.[6]​.

The dimensions of the human body vary according to sex, age, race, socioeconomic level, etc.; Therefore, this science dedicated to investigating, collecting and analyzing this data is a guideline in the design of architectural objects and spaces, as these are containers or extensions of the body and, therefore, must be determined by their dimensions.

These dimensions are of two important types: structural and functional. The structural ones are those of the head, trunks and limbs in standard positions. While functional or dynamic measurements include measurements taken during the movement performed by the body in specific activities. By knowing these data, we know the minimum spaces that man needs to function daily, which must be considered in the design of his environment.

Although anthropometric studies are an important support to know the relationship between the dimensions of man and the space he needs to carry out his activities, in practice the specific characteristics of each situation must be taken into account, due to the aforementioned diversity; thus achieving optimization in the project to be developed. The first anthropometric table for a Hispanic industrial population was made in 1996 in Puerto Rico by Zulma R. Toro and Marco A. Henrich.

Among its applied disciplines is Kinanthropometry.

The body height of an individual is often considered an important thing, especially in regards to the cause of an individual's final body height.

Anthropometry is the science of measurement and art of application that establishes the physical geometry, volume properties and resistance capabilities of the human body. The name is derived from the word anthropos, which means human, and metric, which refers to measurement. The measurement of human beings can be important for many applications, including criminology, practical medicine and personnel selection. However, emphasis will be placed on the applications of the design, considering the most useful measurements for it and the way in which they are used for that purpose will be shown.[7]​.
