It is well known that significant differences exist in the anthropometric data of different races and ethnic groups. This is a cross-sectional study on segmental bone length based on 3,647 Chinese children of equal sex distribution aged 3-18 years. The measurements included standing height, weight, arm span, foot length, and segmental bone length of the humerus, radius, ulna, and tibia. A normality growth chart of all the measured parameters was constructed. Statistical analysis of the results showed a very high linear correlation of height with arm span, foot length, and segmental bone lengths with a correlation coefficient of 0.96-0.99 for both sexes. No differences were found between the right and left side of all the segmental bone lengths. These Chinese children were found to have a proportional limb segmental length relative to the trunk.
众所周知，不同种族和族裔群体的人体测量数据存在显著差异。这是一项基于3647名3至18岁性别分布均衡的中国儿童的节段骨长度横断面研究。测量项目包括身高、体重、臂展、足长以及肱骨、桡骨、尺骨和胫骨的节段骨长度。构建了所有测量参数的正常生长图表。结果的统计分析表明，身高与臂展、足长以及节段骨长度之间存在非常高的线性相关性，两性的相关系数均为0.96 - 0.99。所有节段骨长度的左右两侧未发现差异。研究发现，这些中国儿童的四肢节段长度与躯干长度成比例。
