ABSTRACT
This article aims to present the study of the variability of anthropometric measurements of women’s feet laser. 30 samples were selected for convenience of a population of 60 university students and Region of Curitiba. The selection criterion was used in the body mass index. We selected 10 samples with a BMI less than 18,5 and samples with a BMI between 18,5 and 24,9 and 10 samples with BMI 25 to 29,9. Anthropometric variables were measured six feet by right and left calipers and four dimensional analog checker heights called direct method. For the method used is called an indirect three dimensional laser scanner manual. In total 288 were observed variables. Was applied in the analysis of variability between methods Linear Pearson Correlation obtaining the value near 0, 99 for the group with a BMI less than 18, 5 confirming that the methods correlate. For the group with BMI between the mean of 0,849 mm confirming that the data collected is accurate and will have similar quality, both in the question of exactly how much accuracy. Finally we applied ANOVA with a criterion to evaluate the differences between the mean values for samples with a “BMI between 25 and 29, 9”, yielding a population ratio of 0, 05. Proving that there was no significant variation between the direct and indirect method.
