Height prediction from ulna length.
Height is fundamental to assessing growth and nutrition, calculating body surface area, and predicting pulmonary function in childhood. Its measurement is hindered by muscle weakness, joint, or spinal deformity. Arm span has been used as a substitute, but is inaccurate. The objective of the study was to identify a limb measurement that precisely and reproducibly predicts height in childhood. Ma...
متن کاملThe estimation of body height from ulna length in healthy adults from different ethnic groups.
BACKGROUND Assessments of nutritional status frequently incorporate a measure of height to evaluate a person's relative thinness or fatness. Because height is often difficult to quantify, it may be predicted from alternative anthropometric measurements, including ulna length. Little information is available about the accuracy of these predictions in an ethnically diverse population. The prese...
متن کاملHeight prediction from anthropometric length parameters in Thai people.
Height is an important clinical parameter. However, there were no specific measurements available for particular clinical situations. Although many anthropometric measurements were suggested, no formula was recommended in Thailand. The objective of this study was to develop a formula for height prediction with acceptable validity. Two thousand volunteers were included and were divided consecuti...
متن کاملHeight estimation from foot and shoeprint length.
Foot length displays a biological correlation with height that suggests the latter might be estimated from foot- or shoeprints when such evidence provides an investigator the best or only opportunity to gauge that aspect of a suspect's physical description. Previous utilization of percentages and linear regressions of foot length to make height estimates is reviewed and appraised, as is such us...
متن کاملPrediction of height from foot length: Use of measurement in field surveys.
Investigators have studied the relation between height and the length of various long bones (Dupertius and Hadden, 1951; Trotter and Gleser, 1952, 1958; Zorab, Prime, and Harrison, 1963), and have found good correlation between these measurements. The accurate measurement of height under field survey conditions is extremely difficult, but can provide valuable information. In this type of survey...
