French term

portée

Non-PRO French to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Health Care
This is a set of instructions at a production plant on how to fill out an Accident Report Form.
In the section "Description of victim", the first bullet point is:
"-- l’état de santé, la taille, la **portée**, l’attitude et autres caractéristiques d'un individu"
Does it simply mean 'weight'? or does it mean 'body shape / build'? ...or?
It's Quebec French.
Many thanks :-)
