Body Height Measurements in Images

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2009
Abstract:  For any measurement of a person’s height in an image, a difference exists between the actual height of the person and the image measurement. In order to gain knowledge about statistical behavior of differences between actual and measured heights it is necessary to make reference recordings, e.g., of test persons under the same recording ...

The association of body height, height variability and inequality

Anthropologischer Anzeiger, 2016
Body height is associated with environmental conditions. It has been suggested that under poor conditions when inequality within a population increases, also the variability in height tends to increase. We studied the association of body height, within-country variability in height and geographic and historic origin in 767 growth studies carried out in

Body height changes with hyperextension

Clinical Biomechanics, 1996
OBJECTIVE: To automatize the lumbar physical examination with an acceptable rate of error. DESIGN: An external skin marker method for automatizing the physical examination was developed and its ability to discriminate between normal and abnormal subjects tested in a blind clinical trial.

Body weight/height relationship: Exponential solution

American Journal of Human Biology, 1989
AbstractRegression of weight (W) on height (H) in all higher primates is of exponential form W = a · exp(H · b) and is uniform for both nongrowing adults and growing children. Parameter a values are always close to 2.0 and b to 0.02. The exponential equation fits ontogenetic data better than the traditional allometric power curve.

Body‐height and inbreeding in France

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1967
AbstractDahlberg's ('43) hypothesis that heterosis is a major component of the secular trend towards increased stature is supported by the significant negative correlation between stature and the coefficient of inbreeding in 70 departments of France. This phenomenon is especially evident after the onset of puberty, (r at age 7 = −0.25 for boys: −0.24 ...

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

Tracheal Sound Spectra Depend on Body Height

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
Tracheal sounds originate from turbulent flow in upper and central airways. Turbulent flow characteristics are influenced by conduit dimensions. Because tracheal dimensions are a function of body height, we hypothesized that there should be a correlation between sound spectra and body length.

Body Height Change From Motor Vehicle Vibration

Advances in Bioengineering, 1996
Abstract Subjects, are exposed to tri-axial whole body vibration for three hours, and measured periodically for height changes. The control was no vibration. A broad band predominantly 2 Hz Z-axis acceleration (mean 0.88ms−2) was input by a truck tractor driven on secondary roads.
