Human Silhouette database and Anthropometric Data for Africa

The dataset is composed of 80 Cameroonians (51 males and 29 females) and 81 Senegalese (31 males and 50 females). Individuals wearing close-fitting clothes were photographed from the front-and side-view, and measured following a bioanthropometric protocol synthesizing body shape variation: Body Mass Index, percentage body fat, somatotype profile, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, mean blood pressure and glycaemia.
