Types of Anthropometry

Demi-Span or arm Span
Demi-Span or arm Span

Sex- and age-specific regression equations were produced from measured height and demi-span (DEH) using HSE 2005 data to develop new DEH equations (DEH age) from people aged 65 and older. The derived DEH age equation was applied to the HSE data for 1994, 2000, and 2007 to attempt to test its reliability.
