A Knee Height Equation for Estimating Height of Vietnamese Adults

Nutrition Today, 2021
Critically ill or immobilized patients are unable to stand for their height to be measured; therefore, knee height measurement is a useful proxy. In order to address this problem, a lot of research has been carried out worldwide to create equations to estimate the stature of adults.

Estimates of body height in adult inpatients

Clinical Nutrition, 2006
Different estimates of body height are broad applied in clinical practice, although its accuracy and precision are few known. In order to clarify the applicability of these estimates, concerned with the hypothesis that it is of too few accuracy and precision, the authors compared patient's actual height to their self reported height (SRH), to the value

Association between infection burden and adult height

Economics & Human Biology, 2017
Although highly heritable, adult height is also associated with numerous environmental factors, including exposure to infection. Particularly in developing regions of the world, infection burden appears to slow growth during childhood. Using a large database representative of the US population, we examined associations between adult height and leg ...

Spontaneous Adult Height in Idiopathic Short Stature

Hormone Research, 1995
Two hundred and thirty-six patients with idiopathic short stature (ISS) (184 m, 52 f) who presented at a mean age of 12.2 (range 2.8-17.5) years, a mean height of -2.16 standard deviation score (SDS), a mean target height (THT) of -0.27 SDS (m = f), were reinvestigated at a mean age of 20.5 (range 18-24) years. 182(142 m, 37 f) (67%) had reached normal

Relationship Between Menarcheal Age and Adult Height

Southern Medical Journal, 1989
Many factors contribute to the attainment of adult height, including genetic and environmental variables. To assess the relationship between menarcheal age and adult height, measured adult height and recalled menarcheal age were compared by regression analysis in 425 women.

Reduction of adult height in tall girls

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1979
Assessment of the results of treatment of tall girls with estrogens by comparing actual mature height with predicted mature height is unreliable, unless the accuracy of prediction has been tested in untreated tall girls. We report such an investigation in 14 tall girls who were treated with estrogens and in 14 untreated tall girls.

Turner Syndrome: Effect of Hormone Therapies on Height Velocity and Adult Height

Acta Paediatrica, 1988
ABSTRACT. 76 patients with Turner syndrome received estrogen alone, androgen and estrogen started simultaneously or, after preceding androgen therapy, estrogen with or without androgen. Six patients had spontaneous pubertal development and received no estrogen. Two patients received human growth hormone with androgen during >2.0 years.

VARIATION IN HEIGHT AND BMI OF ADULT INDIANS

Journal of Biosocial Science, 2013
SummaryIt is well known that height and weight are interrelated, and that both are related to socioeconomic variables. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of socioeconomic variables on the heights and weights of different groups of people, formed according to different levels of heights and weights, and to see whether there are sex ...

FINAL ADULT HEIGHT OF PATIENTS WITH EPILEPSY

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1983
SUMMARYThe standing height was measured of 88 adult patients with epilepsy (39 men, 49 women) who had not been resident in institutions during their childhood. No over‐all significant differences were found between these patients and the general population of the United Kingdom, whatever the age of beginning anti‐epileptic therapy.

DETERMINANTS OF VARIATION IN ADULT BODY HEIGHT

Journal of Biosocial Science, 2003
Final body height is achieved as the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this article is to review past studies on body height that have followed different scientific traditions. In modern Western societies, about 20% of variation in body height is due to environmental variation.
