GEBOD Data Pages

(These pages reproduce the Generator of Body Data — GEBOD — anthropometry tables printed at the back of the GATB manual. They list the selected/computed body dimensions produced by the GEBOD regression equations for the standard humans that GATB/HVE can create. In the current release these same standard subjects are generated through the GEBOD-based Human Information dialog — Subject Type Child/Female/Male/User, with Basis Age/Weight/Height/All — documented under docs/manuals/07-humans/. Values are computed body dimensions in the units shown; the child tables also list a Weight Correction Factor. Reference 7 in Chapter 7 is the GEBOD manual.)

All linear dimensions are in inches (in); weight is in pounds (lb).

Child Subjects (Age 2-19 years)

Standard children are defined by age. The four tabulated ages are 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
