On error due to graduation of scaling for anthropometry.
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 th short-term intrasubject variance. It is seen that for commonly used graduations the effect is not to be considered substantial.
