Stature Measurement

Stature measurement is the process of determining a person’s height, typically done using a measuring device called a stadiometer. The individual stands straight against a flat surface, with heels together and back straight. The measurement is taken from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, often with the person gently looking straight ahead. Accurate stature measurement is important in medical assessments, identifying growth patterns, and forensic investigations. It provides vital information about health, development, and physical characteristics, ensuring consistent and reliable data for various professional purposes.
