Subjects: Chinese children in Hong Kong between the ages of 4 and 16
standing height in cm =
= (sitting height in cm) + (lower segment in cm)
Based on Sitting Height
standing height for boys in cm =
= (2.22 * (sitting height in cm)) – 27.26
standing height for girls in cm =
= (2.14 * (sitting height in cm)) – 21.17
Based on Lower Segment (Subischial Height)
standing height for boys in cm =
= (1.75 * (lower segment in cm)) + 26.56
standing height for girls in cm =
= (1.81 * (lower segment in cm)) + 22.75
Based on Arm Span
standing height for boys in cm =
= (0.92 * (arm span in cm)) + 10.84
standing height for girls in cm =
= (0.93 * (arm span in cm)) + 10.34
where:
• R-square for the equations range from 0.97 to 0.99
