摘要

Cultivation in hilly region of the Himalayas is being practiced mostly by the women farmers in their own traditional way using locally developed hand tools and implements. For ergonomically designed tools with improved safety and comfort, it is imperative to carry out an-thropometrical measurements of hill women farmers which are very much lacking at present. In this context, a total of 100 women farmers from Garhwal and Kumaun hill regions of Uttarakhand were selected through simple random sampling without replacement and their 42 body dimensions were measured and analyzed. The mean height and weight of hill women in the working age group of 20-45 years were found to be 151.49 (± 5.93) cm and 40.27 (± 5.08) kg, respectively. Significant differences were not observed in most of the standing and sitting heights but a few body depths and most of the body breadth showed broader body size of women from Kumaun region. A comparison of selected standing anthropometric dimensions of different states in the plain region of India showed higher value than those of hill women of Uttarakhand. Also, all the selected sitting anthropometric dimensions of Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad), Rajasthan (Udaipur) and Haryana (Hisar) states were found to be higher than those of hill women. The geographical area and gender specific anthropometric dimensions need to be considered for developing efficient tools and gadgets for the hilly region.
