Description
The height of humans, H, is given in SI units in meters [m]. Without further identifyer, H is considered as the standing height, measured without shoes, hair ornaments and heavy outer garments.
Abbreviation: H [m]
Reference: Tipton 2012 Nursing
Work in progress by Gnaiger E 2020-01-20 linked to a preprint in preparation on BME and mitObesity.
Measurement of height
- The person is standing upright on a firm horizontally leveled surface without shoes, hair ornaments and heavy outer garments. A small gap of 0.1 m (10 cm) is maintained between the heels of the feet which face straight ahead and arms at sides. The back of the head, shoulder blades, buttocks and heels are touching the wall-mounted statiometer. For facing straingt, the ear canal and cheek bone are level. The 90Β° head of the statiometer is lowered to press the hair flat. This SOP applies to mobile persons who can stand steadily for the measurement.
Average heigth in women and men
Self-reported measurements
- 'Men overestimated their height by 1.3 to 1.9 cm and the women by 0.5 to 1.3 cm. Men overestimated their weight by up to 0.45 kg and women underestimated their weight by up to 1.4 kg' (Tipton 2012 Nursing).
