The inclusion criteria were elderly without deformities and able to stand up straightly. Data collected were demography characteristics, height and knee height. Height was measured using microtoise, knee height was measured using knee calliper. Both microtoise and knee calliper had 0.1 cm accuracy. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Result: Most samples were female, aged 59-88 years. The average age was 71±8.7 years. The average measured height infemale and male subjects were 146.8±5.6 cm and 160.8±6.2 cm respectively. The average calculated height infemale and male subjects were 154. 3±7. 03 cm and 159, 1±6.78 cm respectively.
