한국인 태아에 있어서 신장 좌고 및 상하지사이의 상관관계와 이들 계측치에서 신장을 추산하는 공식작성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The authors have measured the 2, 100 Korean fetuses ranging from 16 to 36 weeks in age to induce the equation formulae for the estimation of stature in terms of the measurements of the sitting height and extremities and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1) The correlation coefficients of over O. 9 between the measurements of the sitting height and the extremities are indicative of highly correlated condition. 2) A difference of approximately 4 mm. is manifested between actual and estimated statures in both sexes, where the estimation is based on the single meas urement of sitting heigh t. 3) A difference of approximately 3 mm. is manifested between actual and estimated statures in both sexes , where the estimation is based on the sitting height and one of the mensurements of the extremities. 4) The estimated stature from the sitting height and one of the measurements of the extremities is closer to actual one than is that from single measurement of sitting height.
