As the incidence of being plus size rises the demographics of the working population have also changed. This paper will present, the results of a plus size anthropometry study, using self-reported anthropometric data taken for
14 key anthropometric measurements. 101 participants, recruited via a non-probability
sampling strategy completed the study which aims to identify the body size and shapes of
plus size working age people.
