使用1971年至1974年美国健康和营养检查调查I数据集中的16，494例成年黑人和白色样本，计算体重、双转子和肘宽与对数转换皮褶厚度和年龄的相关系数。在这些变量中，肘宽与皮褶厚度的相关性最低，且随年龄变化不大。分析表明，肘宽可以作为一个指标的框架大小。根据性别，种族和年龄的肘宽的特定值，将受试者分为小，中，大框架尺寸的类别。建议将这些类别用于身高和框架尺寸的重量评价。
Correlation coefficients of weight, bitrochanteric and elbow breadth to the log-transformed skinfold thickness and age were calculated using 16,494 adult Black and white samples derived from the data sets of the US Health and Nutritional Examination Survey I of 1971 to 1974. Among the variables, elbow breadth exhibited the lowest correlation with skinfold thickness and changes little with age. The analysis shows that elbow breadth can be used as an indicator of frame size. Based on sex-, race-, and age-specific percentiles of elbow breadth the subjects were classified into categories of small, medium, and large frame size. It is suggested that these categories be used for the evaluation of weight for height and frame size.
