Abstract

Background: The research of hand anthropometry, upper limbs, height, and weight have produced many important specialties of applications such as rehabilitation, surgery, orthopedic trauma, labor medicine... Objectives: To identify some hand anthropometry, upper limbs, height, and weight of students of Thai Binh University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Subjects and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study on 620 students of Thai Binh University of Medicine and Pharmacy from August 2021 to March 2022. . Results: The women’s and men’s average BMI were 18.91 and 20.66, respectively. In the hand anthropometry group, the male length hand (17.82 ± 0.83 cm) is larger than the female (16.42 ± 0.74 cm), with the largest middle finger from 73 mm to 78 mm, the ring finger. The little finger is always longer than the index finger, about 72 mm compared to 58 mm in men and 67mm compared to 53 mm in women. The thumb has a maximum width, followed by the middle finger, index finger, ring finger, and little finger (from 15.5 - 12.0 mm). The fingers are all thick, however, the little finger is thicker than the finger (8.92 ± 0.78 mm compared to 8.29 ± 0.78 mm in men). The length of the upper limb in men is much larger than that of the upper limb in women (76.12 cm in men and 70.17 cm in women) with p < 0.05, however, the length of the humerus in the two sexes has the least difference (29.19 cm in men compared to 27.4 cm in women). Conclusion: The multipliers for hand size, upper limb length, height, and weight were all larger in men than in women, the difference was statistically significant at p < 0.05. The length of the ring finger is always larger than the index finger, but the width is opposite at p < 0.05.
