ABSTRACT
Subjects should remove their shoes for both the stature and body mass measures. Stature is measured to the nearest mm using a stadiometer. The subject should stand up as tall as he or she can, keeping the heels on the fl oor and maintaining the head position in the Frankfort Plane (i.e. the straight line through the lower bony orbital margin and the external auditory meatus should be horizontal). Mass should be measured on calibrated weighing scales to the nearest 0.1 kg. The subject should be wearing minimal clothing.
