The most comprehensive U.S. child anthropometry survey was conducted in the 1970s and no longer reflects current populations.

Stature and body weight generally tracked contemporary NHANES estimates more closely than the legacy 1970s U.S. child anthropometry values, although some age- and sex-specific deviations were evident. Body weight and waist circumference were substantially larger than values reported in the 1970s, and buttock\u2013knee length was also larger, indicating changes in seated body dimensions relevant to product and environment design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>YouthShape.US establishes the first large-scale, detailed, publicly accessible anthropometric resource for U.S. children and adolescents in more than five decades and demonstrates substantial secular changes, particularly in body-mass-related dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>YouthShape.US provides interactive tools that enable practitioners to explore contemporary body dimensions relevant to product fit, safety, and ergonomic design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00187208261478468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T02:25:25Z","timestamp":1787019925000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["YouthShape.US: A New Anthropometric Resource for U.S. Children and Youth"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8690-9829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica L.
