Key facts
- PhenX - standing height protocol 020703
- Standing height is measured from the top of the participant's head to his or her heels. This measure is taken among participants who are able to stand unassisted. Under usual field conditions, for reliability, the Anthropometrics Working Group suggests that the measurements are taken in duplicate. A third measurement should be taken if the first two measurements differed by >1.0 cm (1/4"). If it is necessary to take a third measurement, the two closest measurements are averaged. Should the third measurement fall equally between the first two measurements, all three should be averaged.
