Anthropometric history is the study of human size as an indicator of how well the human organism fared during childhood and adolescents in its socio-economic and epidemiological environment. The development of this field has opened up new windows on the ways in which economic processes affected the populations experiencing it, such as the hidden costs of industrialization and urbanization.
