Steele and Chenier reported equations for predicting the height of Black and White women based on age and armspan. The author are from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Caroline.
Patient selection: ages 35 to 89 years, Black and White females
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) armspan in cm
predicted height in cm for a Black female =
= (0.73 * (armspan in cm)) - (0.01 * (age in years)) + 37.72
predicted height in cm for a White female =
= (0.81 * (armspan in cm)) - (0.04 * (age in years)) + 29.58
