Sažetak
Anthropometric measurements make a contribution to studying body sizes and body proportions. Because of nutritive and genetic characteristics the present population of men and women is quite different from the populations of some former decades. Many countries improve their systems every 15 years. The Croatian anthropometric system is a complex technological research and development project financed by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia. Anthropometric measurements are being made in all Croatian counties (20) and in the City of Zagreb, and by the end of 2005 they will encompass the population of 30, 000 subjects or 0.68 per cent in relation to the total living population in Croatia. 55 age classes have been determined, and anthropometric measurements encompass children since birth and persons up to the age of 82 years. This is the first systematic anthropometric measurement of the population of the Republic of Croatia since its independence.
