Child 3D anthropometry evaluation datasets

Background: An efficacy evaluation of the AutoAnthro system to measure child (0–59 months) anthropometry in USA found three-dimensional imaging performed as well as gold-standard manual measurements for biological plausibility and precision. Objectives: Conduct an effectiveness evaluation of the accuracy of the AutoAnthro system to measure 0–59 months child anthropometry in population-based surveys and surveillance systems in households in Guatemala and Kenya, and in hospitals in China. Methods: The evaluation was done using health or nutrition surveillance system platforms among 600 children 0–59 months (Guatemala, Kenya) and 300 children 0-23 months (China). Field team anthropometrists and their assistants collected from each child manual and scan anthropometric measurements including length/height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and head circumference (HC, China only). An anthropometry expert and assistant later collected both manual and scan anthropometric measurements on the...
