Back in mid-June I requested some information regarding anthrompometric
data for children and elderly. I apologize for the long delay in
posting the results of the responses that I received. The information
that I received was most helpful and I am thankful to all who
responded. I am particularly thankful to Dr. Jensen who mailed copies
of his latest work on the elderly. Below is my original message
followed by the replies that I received.
We are conducting research into the gait of elderly adults as well as
children. In our calculations of body segment and total body centers
of gravity we have previously used Dempster's data and Jensen's data for
children. I am also aware of Clauser's work. I was wondering if there
are any other sources of data available? If anyone knows of any
references to articles or other sources of information in this area I
would greatly appreciate receiving a reply from you. Thank you in
advance.

Dear Ian,
Maybe you can use my paper about elderly:
Molenbroek, J.F.M.
Antrhopometry of the elderly people in the Netherlands
Applied Ergonomics 18 (1987)3,187-199
I measured 822 elderly on 30 variables, but not including centres
of mass unfortunately.
with kind regards

Ian,
..be sure to check with Bob Jensen at Laurentian for the
children data (see J Biomechanics).

There is a review article from 1990 that might give you some info:

Dear Mr. McBride:
Our company has developed the Inertiator[TM] system that measures
the anthropometric parameters of all body segments. If this is
of interest to you we could send you an information package that
includes some sample data for your review.

Try looking for material by Margaret Anderson and/or William T.
Green. The most recent reference I have is 1964 but some of the
material might be helpful to you.

Journal of Physical Anthropology 14:287-308.

I have mailed to you two recently published articles rergarding body
segment parameters of the elderly.
I hope they can be of assistance to you.
