METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional study of the anthropometric and segmental measures of 248 participants, aged 0 to 14 years old, using Stevenson\'s and Kihara\'s equations to estimate indirectly measured height.
RESULTS: The segmental measure that provided a measurement that deviated the least from the actual height was the KHL, followed by TL, both calculated using Stevenson\'s equations.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of segmental measures to infer a child\'s stature is valuable in clinical practice, particularly in bedridden and incapacitated patients. Based on the present findings, the KHL and TL segments yielded more accurate results than the UAL.
方法:对248名参与者进行人体测量和分段测量的分析性横断面研究,0至14岁,使用Stevenson和Kihara的方程来估算间接测量的高度。
结果:提供与实际高度偏离最小的测量的分段测量是KHL,其次是TL,两者都是用史蒂文森的方程计算的。
结论:使用分段测量来推断儿童的身材在临床实践中是有价值的,尤其是卧床不起和无行为能力的患者。根据目前的调查结果,KHL和TL段产生的结果比UAL更准确。
