Estimation of Height
The
height of a person can be calculated by using the length of certain long bones, including the femur, tibia, humerus,
and radius. Below are
the equations to determine average measurements for both male and female. (All measurements are in centimeters)
•
Male Female
femur x
2.23 + 69.08 femur x
2.21 +61.41
tibia x
2.39 + 81.68 tibia x
2.53 + 72.57
humerus x
2.97 + 73.57 humerus x
3.14 + 64.97
radius x
3.65 + 80.40 radius x
3.87 + 73.50
