I am completing a final assignment for a statistics course, and need a single word to describe age, height, weight and BMI (body mass index). The best I've been able to come up with so far are physical characteristics which isn't actually a good explanation for those terms, characteristics by itself, and traits , neither of which fit very well ...
Height and Weight — How to write them when abbreviations are not used. He was a 6-foot 5-inch man. (Not: 6-foot-5-inch man, with three hyphens.) She gave birth to a 7-pound 11-ounce baby.

Okay, this is a very specific dataset for the !Kung San people, but it has height, weight, sex, and age fields. Reference was found in McElreath : "The data contained in data ( Howell1 ) are partial census data for the Dobe area !Kung San, compiled from interviews conducted by Nancy Howell in the late 1960s."

As I don't have the resources do tests in the field, I'd like to use a dataset of containing basic human body measurements (height, weight, chest, waist) for a diversified population. Do you know about any good resources I could use to do such a work? EDIT: I noticed how my question lacked of precision. So ideally the dataset would contain as ...
In my use case, I would be interested in having it in order to compute the patient's ideal body weight. On Oracle DB: SELECT *. FROM all_tab_columns. WHERE LOWER(column_name) = 'height'. AND owner = 'MIMIC'; or on PostgreSQL: select table_name. from information_schema.columns.
Interestingly, Shakespeare variously employed not only height and heighth but also hight, depending on the work: 1591 Shaks.

In popular parlance, mass is often used in respect of the size of something. Plus obviously there's weight = mass [under the influence of gravity]. I have never seen or heard "mass" used to mean the "size" of something. But that's just me! Your best bet is maybe "measurements". If you're trying to find wording for a web site or computer ...
Five-foot six and a half is the only well-understood way to express this height for Americans, so really just about anything else is equally good (bad), so long as you specify the units— thus, my vote would go to 1–3, 5, and 8.
