Survey of accidents in Indian agricultureTo develop safer equipment and to pursue measures for minimizing accidents in agriculture, realistic data on these accidents are essential. Therefore, an agricultural accident survey was carried out during 2004-07 in collaboration with Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi in a large sample of villages based on statistical considerations for a period of one year in seven states namely Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal. Of the total accidents reported during a period of one year, 30.5% accidents were due to farm machines, 34.2% accidents were due to hand tools and the remaining 35.3% were due other sources (like snake bites, drowning in wells/ponds, animal bites, lighting, etc.)Under the farm machinery category about 31% of accidents were due to tractors and tractor operated equipment, 22% due to animal drawn equipment, 14% due to threshers, 12% due to electric motor/pump sets, 9% due to chaff cutters, 6% due to power tillers, 4% due to sprayers and 2% due to other machines. Therefore, the equipment which need immediate attention are tractors, threshers, electrical motors and pump sets, chaff cutters, power tillers, sprayers and animal drawn equipment. Among other sources, snake bites were observed to be one of the major sources of fatal accidents and necessary actions for educating workers and making anti-venom injections available at village level health centres are needed. Of the total accidents, 5.5% were fatal whereas 94.5% were non-fatal in nature. The overall incidence rate per year was 334 accidents per lakh workers whereas the fatality rate was 18.3 per lakh workers. The data collected in this survey are being used to formulate accident minimization programmes in these states.Development/ evaluation of safety gadgets for farm machines/ activitiesThe following safety gadgets were developed/ evaluated to minimize accidents in agricultural activities.Safety gadgets for chaff cutters and sugarcane crushersSafety cover for pedal operated paddy thresherBelt and chain type conveyor feeding system for high capacity thresherA tractor trailer with brakes and other safety featuresLighting system with turning indicators for tractor trailersA safety cover for well/ tube wellTechnology for enhancing comfort of operatorsThe following gadgets were developed to minimize the health hazards due to the vibration and noise in tractors and power tillers.Antivibration devices (isolators) for tractorAntivibration devices (isolators) for power tillerImproved muffler for power tiller for reduced noise levelTractor workplace layout recommendations for Indian operators based on ergonomical considerationsAnthropometric and strength data of agricultural workersAnthropometric data for 12525 agricultural workers from 12 states (8025 male and 4500 female) on 79 body dimensions useful in farm equipment design were collected.

Yes.Here is a study that found such a correlation:Is Obesity Associated With a Decline in Intelligence Quotient During the First Half of the Life Course? Daniel W. Belsky, et al.You can obtain the full paper in PDF form here:https://sites.duke.edu/danbelsky/files/2012/09/Belsky-et-al.-2013-AJE_Is-Obesity-Associated-With-a-Decline-in-Intelligence-Quotient-During-the-First-Half-of-the-Life-Course.pdfAbstractCross-sectional studies have found that obesity is associated with low intellectual ability and neuroimaging abnormalities in adolescence and adulthood. Some have interpreted these associations to suggest that obesity causes intellectual decline in the first half of the life course. We analyzed data from a prospective longitudinal study to test whether becoming obese was associated with intellectual decline from childhood to midlife. We used data from the ongoing Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a population-representative birth cohort study of 1,037 children in New Zealand who were followed prospectively from birth (1972–1973) through their fourth decade of life with a 95% retention rate. Intelligence quotient (IQ) was measured in childhood and adulthood. Anthropometric measurements were taken at birth and at 12 subsequent in-person assessments. As expected, cohort members who became obese had lower adulthood IQ scores. However, obese cohort members exhibited no excess decline in IQ. Instead, these cohort members had lower IQ scores since childhood. This pattern remained consistent when we accounted for children's birth weights and growth during the first years of life, as well as for childhood-onset obesity. Lower IQ scores among children who later developed obesity were present as early as 3 years of age. We observed no evidence that obesity contributed to a decline in IQ, even among obese individuals who displayed evidence of the metabolic syndrome and/or elevated systemic inflammation.

AsadujjamanMd. Golzer HossainMd. Sohel RanaMd. Zahidul IslamBackground The estimation of the stature of human beings is a major part of medicolegal investigation when only body parts are found. The study aimed to estimate the stature from different handprint measurements in a Bangladeshi population using statistical considerations. A sample of 200 young Bangladeshi adults (100 men and 100 women) with no physical disabilities participated in this study. Stature and seven anthropometric measurements were measured using standard anthropometric measurements. The bilateral asymmetry was tested using the independent t test. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient ( R ) between the stature and different handprint measurements was calculated. Consequently, the simple and multiple linear regression models were developed to estimate the stature from the handprint measurements. Results The bilateral asymmetry was statistically not significant ( p > 0.05) in right and left handprints. Sex difference significantly ( p < 0.05) influences the relationship between stature and handprint measurements. A positive and strong coefficient of correlation ( R ) value presents between stature and the handprint measurements. The right 2 nd digit length in men ( R = + 0.709, R 2 = 0.502, SEE = ± 44.141 mm) and the right handprint length in women ( R = + 0.552, R ² = 0.305, SEE = ± 49.074 mm) were the most reliable estimator of stature. However, when data were combined for both sexes, the right handprint length was identified as the most reliable estimator of stature with higher values of R (+ 0.777) and R ² (0.603), and a lower value of SEE (± 55.520). Multiple regression equation showed greater reliability than linear regression equations in stature estimation from handprint measurements in Bangladeshi population. Conclusions It was concluded that the estimation of stature from handprint measurements is possible and reliable. The findings of this study are very useful from the forensic and medicolegal point of view and can use to estimate the stature in Bangladeshi population.View... In such circumstances, various anthropometric methods have been used as a tool to calculate the height of a human being from unknown body parts and skeletal remains by anthropologists, medical scientists, and anatomists, which have been practiced over the last few decades. Consequently, several researchers have tried to figure out the height of the individuals from different body measurements such as foot [5][6][7][8][9], footprints [10][11][12], upper limb [13,14], lower limb [15], hand [9,16,17], handprint [18], knee height [19], long bones [20], and so on. Among these measurements, the stature estimation from long bones becomes imperative, while the direct height measurement is difficult, especially in debilitated, bedridden persons or in persons that may have vertebral column or limbrelated problems [21]. ...Stature Estimation Using Ulnar Length and Shoulder Elbow Length in a Bangladeshi PopulationArticleFull-text availableDec 2020Nilufa YeasminImran HossainMohammad Asaduzzaman ChowdhuryMehedi Hasan RockySarker SokharanjanIn forensic science, the stature estimation from different parts of the human body, particularly in personal identification, has gained considerable importance due to mass disasters like cyclones, earthquakes, mass accidents, terror attacks etc. Moreover, clinically stature estimation is also essential to assess physical growth, nutrition, and calculating body surface area. Therefore, the present study was intended to develop the standard formula to evaluate the stature of a person using ulnar length and shoulder elbow length in Bangladeshi adult population. The study was carried out on arbitrarily selected 300 healthy adult individuals (150 males and 150 females). At first, several statistical tests were applied to analyze the collected data. Then, sex-specific simple linear regression, stepwise regression, and multiple regression models were applied to develop the models for estimating the stature based on shoulder elbow length and ulnar length. The results showed the insignificant bilateral differences (p > 0.05) of the ulnar length and shoulder elbow length measurements in both sexes. The coefficients of correlation between stature and all measurements were significantly positive (p < 0.001). In this study, the ulnar length showed a better relationship with stature than shoulder elbow length in both sexes with a lower value SEE and higher values of R and R2. Also, the multiple regression models gave better results than the simple and stepwise regression models due to higher R values and lower SEE. This study concludes that the ulnar length and the shoulder elbow length are significant parameters to estimate the stature in Bangladeshi adult’s population.View... The measurement of individuals varies among populations [10,11]. Therefore, models to estimate stature are population-specific [10,12]; a single model cannot represent all populations worldwide [9,13,14]. ...Stature estimation from footprint measurements in Bangladeshi adultsArticleFull-text availableJul 2020Md. AsadujjamanMd. Harun Or RashidMd. Sohel RanaMd. Mosharraf HossainThe estimation of stature is very important in forensic investigation, as it provides useful data that can narrow the pool of potentially matching identities. The purpose of this study was to develop formulae for the estimation of stature from footprint measurements in Bangladeshi adults. This study included 118 randomly selected men and 130 randomly selected women, all aged 18–50 years. From each participant, stature and six footprint measurements were taken by means of standard measurement techniques. Footprint measurements were found to be positively correlated with stature. Stature was estimated by using linear regression equations. The right T1 length in men (R: +0.587, R²: 0.345) and the right T2 length in women (R: +0.506, R²: 0.256) were the most reliable individual estimators of stature. However, when data were combined for both sexes, the right T2 length was identified as the most reliable estimator of stature, with higher values of R (+0.792) and R² (0.627). In conclusion, human stature can be successfully estimated by using footprint measurements; this finding can be applied in forensic research and investigation.View... The significance of hand anthropometric measurements was further emphasized in uses with different variables, for example, the development of predictive models of other body dimensions and hand strength. The hand measurements were used mainly for determining grip strength (Shahida et al., 2015) or force (Shurrab et al., 2015(Shurrab et al., , 2017, determining manual dexterity (Çakıt et al., 2016), hand performance (Gnaneswaran and Bishu, 2011), optimum grip span (Eksioglu, 2004) and in predicting stature(Asadujjaman et al., 2019;Khan et al., 2017), sex (Varu et al., 2016) and Prosthesis (Dunai et al., 2019). These measurements can also be used to determine touch interaction (Kim et al., 2018), phone size (Chowdhury and Kanetkar, 2017), glove size (Vergara et al., 2019) and to analyze operations on handheld devices (Ahn et al., 2016), including handle shape (Guo et al., 2017). ...A survey of hand anthropometry of Bangladeshi agricultural farm workersArticleJun 2020INT J IND ERGONOMMunem ShahriarMd. Shohel ParvezMostafa LutfiThe 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 anthropometric 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 anthropometric studies in Bangladesh that are related to the design of hand tools or equipment for work or other activities.View...

Human stature estimation is an important biological profile component during forensic anthropological investigation. This systematic review summarised the application of anthropometric measurements on human vertebral column for stature prediction in different population. An extensive literature search was done in PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar from 2009 to 2019. The inclusive criteria include English studies that used anthropometry method on human vertebral columns for prediction of stature during identification skeletal remains. During the literature search, 38 related articles were found, whereby 13 had met the inclusion criteria. Most study showed a positive correlation of various anthropometric measurements on human vertebra column for stature estimation in different populations. This evidence-based review revealed the usefulness of anthropometric measurements using human vertebra column as an alternative method other than long bones for identification of human remains among different populations. Further studies are needed to determine the best reliable methods for stature estimation among various anthropometric measurements with a more advanced meta-analysis of the results on human vertebra column.View...

This study included five different MRI measurements of C2 vertebrae in 320 individuals. Single and multiple regression analyses were made for stature estimations. There were statistically significant differences between males and females for the stature and the five C2 measurements. The highest correlation was observed for the DA (the length from the top of the dens to the anteroinferior point of the vertebral body) measurement in all cases (all patients, r = 0.692; males, r = 0.640; females, r = 0.480), and the lowest correlation was observed for the AP (the length from the anteroinferior point of the vertebral body to the posteroinferior point of the vertebral body) measurement in all cases (all patients, r = 0.421; males, r = 0.066; females, r = 0.193). The SEE (standard error of estimation) was large. The results of this study suggest that C2 vertebrae measurements may be useful for the estimation of the stature of Turkish individuals, particularly in cases when long bones measurements are not possible.ViewGet access to 30 million figuresJoin ResearchGate to access over 30 million figures and 135+ million publications – all in one place.Join for free
