It is shown that the measurement error due to graduation of scaling for anthropometric variables usually follows a uniform distribution. The result is used to investigate to what extent graduation in anthropometric scales affects the short‐term intrasubject variance. It is seen that for commonly used graduations the effect is not to be considered substantial
