The reliability of length measurement was determined in 38 infants less than 1 year of age. The SD of a single length measurement was 0.28 cm at birth and 0.42 cm both at 6 weeks and at 8 months of age, comparable with the SD of a single height measurement in previously reported older children. There is no technical reason to prevent reliable measurement of young infants.
对38名1岁以下婴儿的身长测量可靠性进行了测定。出生时单次身长测量的标准差为0.28厘米,6周和8个月时均为0.42厘米,这与先前报道的大龄儿童单次身高测量的标准差相当。不存在阻碍对幼儿进行可靠测量的技术原因。
