Anthropometrics, which involves measuring the physical characteristics of the human body, is important in various aspects of life. In areas such as health and fitness, anthropometric measurements provide insights into an individual's body composition, which can help in monitoring and managing weight and overall well-being. Anthropometric data is also valuable in fields like ergonomics and industrial design, where it is used to ensure the appropriate design and sizing of products and environments for optimal comfort and safety.

BMI is just a generalization (index) based on height and weight and anthropometric data is a quantitative measurement of body mass.
Anthropometry (Greek άνθρωπος, man, and μέτρον, measure, literally meaning "measurement of humans"), in physical anthropology, refers to the measurement of the human individual for the purposes of understanding human physical variation. Today, anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design , clothing design, ergonomics and architecture where statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. Changes in life styles, nutrition and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions (e.g., the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of anthropometric
Because designing a house is about creating a pleasant and comfortable space which satisfies human needs, architects need to be aware of body dimensions. For example, by applying anthropometric data we can find out the size and space required for a sofa , a chair, and so on...
