Abstract

Anthropometry is a scientific discipline dealing with systematic measurements of the human body. As it has a long tradition in Slovenia, extensive anthropometric data has been collected over the years. The present manuscript presents the establishment of a machine-readable anonymised anthropometric database that includes anthropometric data from the Slovenian population since 1940. Currently, double-checking of the data is in progress; a preliminary insight into the available dataset is presented.
