Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study is aimed to examine the appropriacy of school furniture to Iranian pupils' anthropometric features. METHODS: The participants in this cross-sectional study were 493 boys and 489 girls with the age-range of 7 to 12 years who were selected through a multistage random cluster sampling procedure. Age, weight, height, and anthropometric dimensions were determined. RESULTS: This study indicates that there is a significant difference between the minimum and maximum acceptable dimensions and those of the available furniture (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In designing suitable furniture for pupils the anthropometric differences of age and gender must be taken into account.
