This review of domestic and foreign literature concerns methods for the rough estimation of human height based on the results of foot measurement. The efficiency of all these methods appears to be very low since they yield differing and mostly unreliable information. Their main drawback is attributable to the poor dependence between the foot length and the height. This situation necessitated a new study in the search for more accurate estimates of the anatomic relationship between the two variables. The comprehensive anthropometric examination included a total of 3457 subjects (2073 men and 1384 women). It was shown that the two genders differ in terms of the height-to-foot length ratio; moreover, the mean value of this ratio varies depending on the foot length of individual subjects in the range from 6.2 to 7.1 (for women) and from 6.54 to 7.49 (for men). The length of the foot is negatively correlated with the coefficient describing its relationship to the height; the coefficient decreases with increasing foot length. Also, it may differ at a constant length of the foot within 0.6 and 0.62 in men and women respectively.
这篇国内外文献综述涉及基于足部测量结果粗略估计人体身高的方法。所有这些方法的效率似乎都很低，因为它们得出的信息各不相同且大多不可靠。其主要缺点在于足长与身高之间的相关性较差。这种情况使得有必要开展一项新研究，以寻求对这两个变量之间解剖关系更准确的估计。全面的人体测量检查共纳入了3457名受试者（2073名男性和1384名女性）。结果表明，男女在身高与足长的比例方面存在差异；此外，该比例的平均值会因个体受试者的足长不同而有所变化，女性的范围为6.2至7.1，男性的范围为6.54至7.49。足长与描述其与身高关系的系数呈负相关；该系数会随着足长的增加而减小。而且，在足长恒定为0.6和0.62时，男性和女性的该系数可能也会有所不同。
