Andrea, I don't know what you mean by morphometric analysis exactly, but the CAESAR survey contains 4,431 humans with 3-D whole body scans of 3 postures (i.e. 3 scans each) and 73 3-D landmarks. A few people have been developing some 3-D shape descriptors that are not dependent upon landmarks and have done some testing of them with this dataset. Here are some references:
