The ulna, one of the two main bones in the forearm, has proven to be a reliable predictor of overall height due to its proportional relationship with total body height. 24 cm Ulna Length to Height: For Male: 156.62 cm (5’2″) and for Female: 156.72 cm (5’2″)

Measure between the point of the elbow and the midpoint of the prominent bone of the wrist (left side if possible). Use the table below to convert height in metres to feet and inches.

If height cannot be obtained, use length of forearm (ulna) to calculate height using tables below. (See The ‘MUST’ Explanatory Booklet for details of other alternative measurements (knee height and demispan) that can also be used to estimate height).

The only tool needed is a tape to measure the ulna length between the point of the elbow and the midpoint of the prominent bone of the wrist. This value is then compared with a standardized height conversion chart. 12. Clinically, the most useful measurement is the demi-span.

Use Appendix (i) to estimate height from ulna length. Example: A 48 year old lady has an ulna length of 26cm. This would make her estimated height as 1.68m. (An extract of Appendix (i) is detailed below) Men (< 65 years) Men (> 65 years) 1.68 1.73 Ulna length (cm) 26 Women (< 65 years) Women (> 65 years) 1.65 1.68

Aug 25, 2018 · What is the ulna length-to-height formula? The exact length of the ulna varies from one person to another, with research showing a possible correlation between the ulnar length and one’s height (the height of an individual may be estimated …

10.1 Equations for calculating height from knee height (Chumlea and Guo. 1992; Chumlea et al., 1985, 1994) Men 18–60 years Predicted height (cm) = [knee height (cm) × 1.88] + 71.85

Estimate Height from Ulna Length. If height cannot be measured, use recently documented or self-reported height (if reliable and realistic).

If you want to use the forearm (ulna) length to estimate the patient's height, use the table below. Measure the forearm length, and find the corresponding height depending on the sex and age of the patient.

The document provides instructions for estimating a person's height based on measuring the length of their forearm bone (ulna). It states that if a person's height cannot be obtained, their ulna should be measured in centimeters as described.
