Knous and Arisawa et al developed equations for estimating the height of elderly Japanese adults from knee height. The authors are from Kansas State University.
Patient selection: elderly Japanese adults
Parameters:
(1) gender
(2) age in years
(3) knee height in centimeters
height of a female in cm =
= (2.38 * (knee height in cm)) - (0.34 * (age in years)) + 63.06
height of a male in cm =
= (2.61 * (knee height in cm)) - (0.56 * (age in years)) + 71.16
