The relationships between the height (H), sitting height (SH), and the lower segment (H-SH) were studied in a group of 21 patients with Turner's syndrome. The SH/H ratio was markedly abnormal (0.55), equivalent to that of 6-year-old normal girls. The abnormality in ratio was a result of markedly shortened lower extremities. Further, there was a significant inverse correlation between SH/H-SH ratio and height such that patients with the most shortening of their legs were the shortest. The degree of abnormality in lower segment, therefore, is a major determinant of stature in Turner's syndrome.
对一组21例特纳综合征患者的身高（H）、坐高（SH）以及下肢长度（H - SH）之间的关系进行了研究。坐高与身高之比（SH/H）明显异常（0.55），与6岁正常女孩相当。该比例异常是下肢明显缩短所致。此外，SH/H - SH比值与身高之间存在显著负相关，即腿部缩短最明显的患者身高最矮。因此，下肢的异常程度是特纳综合征患者身高的主要决定因素。
