Equation

Male

\(\mathrm{Stature }(\mathrm{cm})=98.658-0.147\times \mathrm{age }(\mathrm{years old})+1.910\times \mathrm{LHL }(\mathrm{cm})+2.097\times \mathrm{RHL }(\mathrm{cm})\)

Female

\(\mathrm{Stature}(\mathrm{cm})=86.262-0.155\times \mathrm{age }(\mathrm{years old})+3.537\times \mathrm{LHL }(\mathrm{cm})+4.736\times \mathrm{RHW}-2.875\times \mathrm{LHW }(\mathrm{cm})\)

Both

\(\mathrm{Stature}(\mathrm{cm})=61.918-0.151\times \mathrm{age }(\mathrm{years old})+4.111\times \mathrm{LHL }(\mathrm{cm})+6.412\times \mathrm{RHW}-2.625\times \mathrm{LHW }(\mathrm{cm})\)
