Abstract：
This study aimed to evaluate the ergonomic design of toilets and bathroom equipment for older adults using anthropometric measurements.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
Data were collected from 2,721 people aged ≥ 65 years in Turkey. Fourteen anthropometric measurements were evaluated. Body dimension characteristics were described using minimum, maximum, and arithmetic means and standard deviations and the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles.
The measurements showed that companies generally do not design bathroom toilet equipment that is suitable for older adults.
This study provides advice to designers and manufacturers on how to adapt their products to the bathroom according to users\' body characteristics in order to increase person-environment fit for older people.

摘要：
目的：本研究旨在使用人体测量法评估老年人的厕所和浴室设备的人体工程学设计。
方法：这是一项描述性横断面研究。
方法：数据来自土耳其2,721名年龄≥65岁的人。评估了14次人体测量。车身尺寸特征用最小值描述，最大值,和算术平均值和标准偏差以及第五，25日,50岁，75,和95百分位数。
结果：测量结果表明，公司通常不设计适合老年人的浴室厕所设备。
结论：这项研究为设计师和制造商提供了建议，让他们的产品根据使用者的身体特征适应浴室，以提高老年人的人与环境的适应性。
