在适用于老年人的若干营养状况指数中，身高是一个重要变量。然而，在不能行走的老年人中，身高很难或不可能测量，或者如果在脊柱过度弯曲的老年人中测量，其值可能是假的。简单的方程估计身高的老年男性从一个横卧测量膝盖的高度和老年女性从一个横卧测量膝盖的高度和年龄。这些方程对个体的90%误差界限为+6.0 cm。膝盖高度与身高高度相关。
Stature is an important variable in several indices of nutritional status that are applicable to elderly persons. However, stature is difficult or impossible to measure in the nonambulatory elderly person, or its value may be spurious if measured in those elderly persons with excessive spinal curvature. Simple equations are presented for estimating the stature of elderly men from a recumbent measure of knee height and for elderly women from a recumbent measure of knee height and age. The 90% error bounds for these equations for an individual are +6.0 cm. Knee height is highly correlated with stature.
