A comparison of three methods for estimating height in the acutely ill elderly population Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 13-20 - 2003

to measure accurately in older adults due to mobility problems and kyphosis.
Surrogate methods have been developed to estimate height including arm‐span,
demi‐span and knee height. There are currently little data on the accuracy of
these methods ... hiện toàn bộ
