Garmendia et al reported equations for estimating the height of an adult Mexican from long bone measurements. The authors are from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
Subjects: from 19 to 91 years old
Height range for males: 144.2 to 178.0 cm
Height range for females: 140.0 to 169.8 cm
Measurements of long bones:
(1) humerus in cm
(2) femur in cm
(3) tibia in cm
height in cm for male =
= (3.5756 * (length of humerus)) + 51.6404
= (2.4211 * (length of femur)) + 58.5371
= (2.7730 * (length of tibia)) + 62.1694
height in cm for female =
= (4.2294 * (length of humerus)) + 29.2104
= (3.1379 * (length of femur)) + 25.7316
= (3.0067 * (length of tibia)) + 51.5941
