The objectivity of several anthropometric measurements were tested in two institutes on the same subjects. In many cases systematic differences are to be expected: 1. Girth measurements tend to differences in the same direction. 2. The comparability of skeletal measurements is often uncertain; some measurements tend to give lower, other ones higher figures. Biacromial diameter and radio‐ulnar epicondylar width do not reveal systematic differences. 3. Skinfold thicknesses measured do not reveal systematic differences
