Description
The most recent version of the DINED-series was based on two sources. The first is the Geron-project 1993-1998 of the TU Delft Ergonomics group (see also the Geron 1998 table), which provides the basic body dimensions. Second source is the Caesar-project from TNO Human Factors Soesterberg, which provides the circumferences.

Description
Dined 2003 was a joint project from TU Delft and TNO Human Factors. It focuses on the basic body dimensions (no cicumferences) and aims at giving a reliable estimation of the Dutch population by combining two sources for these dimensions.

Description
The TU Delft Geron project was a national study in which 750 subjects, who lived independently, were assessed. In total about 80 variables, all more or less important for product use, were measured. The sample consisted of four age groups ranging from 50 to over 80 years of age; a group of young people (20 - 30 years) was also studied for the purpose of comparison (see DINED 2004 table). Women and men participated in about equal numbers.
