In making the living conditions suitable and increasing the standards, starting from the designing stage of all types of products to production and usage stage, including especially machinery, production, clothing, tool and equipment, It is essential to ensure that the product is strictly suitable for the purpose, by taking into account that the human beings who will be utilising or using them. Therefore designed products and conditions must be produced according to human, machinary and environment relationship. It is very important to identify human characteristics and capacity in ensuring this harmony and relationship. Anthropometry is one of the widespread techniques in identifying this characteristic and capacities. No matter what product it is in ergonomic design, one of the important criteria to take into account is anthropometric size of the person who will be using. It is not possible to mention about the product’s functionality and utility without taking into account anthropometric size of the person who will be using or utilizing the product. Anthropometric measurements make up the pattern of the product in the end. To know anthropometric measurements provide maximum benefit in all kinds of work and design toward target group such as health, ergonomy, sports, engineering, clothing design, architecture, and industrial design. When we look at the anthropometric researches on adults in our country, it is known that number of research and their coverage is not sufficient. Therefore the aim of this study is to compile anthropometric studies in Turkey, analyses the change of various measurement in due time, and to lead the way for the researchers how they go about for the future studies.
