한국인태아에 있어서 신장과 하지의 상관관계 및 하지계측치에서 신장을 추산하는 공식작성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The authors have measured 2. 100 Korean fetuses ranging in age from 16 to 36 weeks to induce the equation formulae for the estimation of stature in terms of the measurements of the lower extremity and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1). The correlation coefficients of over 0.9 between the stature and the measurements of the lower extremity are indicative of highly correlated condition. 2). Differences of approximately 2 mm. in male and 4 mm. in female are manifested between actual and estimated statures, where the estimations are based on single measurement. 3). Differences of approximately 1 mm. in male and 2 mm. in female are manifested between actual and estimated statures, where the estimations are based on double measurements. 4). Estimated stature from double measurements is closer to actual one than is that from single measurement. 5). Estimated stature from the measurements of the upper extremity is closer to actual one than is that from the measurements of the lower extremity.
