This essay presents a theoretic approximation on the microeconometric decompositions analysis by incorporating anthropometric variables, and apprainsing theirs presumable effects on the income distribution. A new body-mass-index based equivalent scale is proposed toward more accurate individual income's representativeness. By assuming an hypothetical empiric case, interesting interpretations would be arriving on the possible interactions among anthropometry and inequality which were accounted through a set of parameter's interpretations on whose meaning could be useful at the time by developing policies to cope with eventual not desired anthropometric effects on income distribution.
