General and Stature Group Specific Equations of Can Pelin and Duyar for Estimating Height from Tibia Length in a Turkish Population

Description

Can Pelin and Duyar developed equations for estimating the height of an adult based on the length of the tibia. In addition to a general formula they developed equations for different statures. The authors are from Baskent and Ankara Universities in Turkey.


 

Subjects: 110 adult Turkish males

 

General formula:

 

stature in mm =

= 678.68 + (2.738 * (tibial length in mm))

 

Stature groups specific formulae:

 

Stature Group

Stature Range

short

<= 1,652 mm

medium

1,653 to 1,840 mm

tall

>= 1,841

 

 

Stature Group

Formula for Stature in mm

short

951.94 + (1.89 * (tibial length in mm))

medium

944.82 + (2.057 * (tibial length in mm))

tall

1224.15 + (1.53 * (tibial length in mm))
