Computer image of child. \u003cbr/\u003eData on the measurements of French children aged 0 to 5 is being collected for a research project aimed at standardising clothing sizes.\u003cbr/\u003eA measuring campaign by the French Institute of Textiles and Clothing (Institute Francais du Textile et de l'Habillement) started last month with the aim to size up 1600 children and babies.\u003cbr/\u003eSolene is 4 years old.  She's been asked to look at the frog and stay still until the toy has emitted a  sound.  Meanwhile, a laser takes her measurements. \u003cbr/\u003eThe results are shown on screen via a 3D reproduction of the child. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's the first time children have been measured on such a large scale in France.  \u003cbr/\u003eIn charge of the campaign is Patrick Robinet from the French textiles and clothing institute the IFTH (Institute Francais du textile et de l'Habillement).  \u003cbr/\u003eHe explains that little data is currently available on childrens' sizes. \u003cbr/\u003eThe research is being carried out to help  manufacturers make better products aimed at children. \u003cbr/\u003eHe quotes as examples children's furniture, baby seats and shoes as well as clothing. \u003cbr/\u003eFeet too are measured in 3D. \u003cbr/\u003eThe dimensions of the foot is something the shoe industry are starting to take into account - currently few manufacturers offer varying foot widths or ankle sizes. \u003cbr/\u003eThe IFTH has already carried out similar research within the  5 -70 age group. More than 11.000 were measured. \u003cbr/\u003eThe results published in 2006 threw up some startling results: Women in France are 1.8 kg (3.96 lb)  heavier now than they were in 1970, with waistbands being on average 6.6 cm wider 38 years ago.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe average male has also gained weight by  5.4 kg (11.9 lb). \u003cbr/\u003eBoth sexes though, are taller than their 70's counterparts. Women have added on average an extra 2cms (0.8 inch)  and men an extra 5cms (2 inches).  \u003cbr/\u003eRobinet explains that obesity is a growing problem in Europe and the US, adding that one third of men are overweight in France.  He hopes the research project will also help nutritionists gauge whether there is a similar problem with children aged under 5 in France. \u003cbr/\u003ePart of the research is being carried out at the Saint Exupery School on the outskirts of Lyon. \u003cbr/\u003eSo far 110 children have been measured, but the results are yet to be released. \u003cbr/\u003eThe school took advantage of the initiative to teach the children about nutrition.\u003cbr/\u003eHead teacher, Aurore Dufaud says some children have unbalanced diets that do not include enough fruit or vegetables and include too many sugary drinks. \u003cbr/\u003eExpanding heights and waistbands has led to confusion among shoppers according to  Arnaud Bonnet from Pole Enfant -  a confederation of child product manufacturers. \u003cbr/\u003e He hopes the research will allow children's clothing sizes to be standardised across the country so that  all children aged 5 and under will be able to wear clothes with a perfect fit.\u003cbr/\u003eNathalie Gouttenoire owns a shop selling children's clothing in Lyon.  She believes children are on average bigger than they used to be and is looking forward to the new sizing system. \u003cbr/\u003eBut for now, mums and grandmothers that clearly know best  are doing what they've always done - buying garments two sizes up so that if they don't fit straight away, the children will eventually grow into them.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
