Height is an essential variable when assessing renal clearance, nutritional status, and absorption. Standard methods of estimating height are impractical in the nonambulant. One hundred sixty-five elderly inpatients were studied. Total standing height, knee-to-floor height, and tibial length were measured. Total arm, upper arm, and forearm measurements were obtained in both erect and supine positions. Measured height correlated best with supine total arm length (R2 = .69), knee-to-floor height (R2 = .63), and erect forearm length (R2 = .61). A nomogram relating both supine total arm length and knee-to-floor height with the patient's measured height has been prepared.
在评估肾脏清除率、营养状况和吸收情况时，身高是一个重要变量。对于非行走患者，标准的身高估计方法并不实用。对165名老年住院患者进行了研究。测量了总站立身高、膝盖到地面的高度和胫骨长度。在直立和仰卧位均测量了总臂长、上臂长和前臂长。测量的身高与仰卧位总臂长（R2 = 0.69）、膝盖到地面的高度（R2 = 0.63）和直立位前臂长（R2 = 0.61）的相关性最佳。已经绘制了一张将仰卧位总臂长和膝盖到地面的高度与患者测量身高相关联的列线图。
