Roche-Winer- Thissen（RWT）方法根据一次童年检查记录的数据估计个体的成年身高。所需的数据是卧位长度，裸重，中年身高，手腕骨龄。如有必要，可以将儿童身高的测量值转换为近似等于卧位长度，而几乎没有精度损失。当应用于三个纵向生长研究的数据时，RWT方法的预测误差小于Bayley和Pinneau方法的预测误差。
The Roche- Wainer- Thissen (RWT) method estimates the adult stature of an individual from data recorded at a single childhood examination. The data required are recumbent length, nude weight, midparent stature, and hand-wrist skeletal age. If necessary, a measurement of the child's stature can be transformed to be approximately equivalent to recumbent length with little loss of accuracy. When applied to data from three longitudinal growth studies, the prediction errors with the RWT method were smaller than those with the method of Bayley and Pinneau.
