Anthropometry

Studies suggest that anthropometric measures such as height, leg length, and weight are related to specific health outcomes in later life.

Height and leg height are indicators of nutritional and health status in earlier life, while measures of adiposity such as waist and hip circumference and BMI are related to more contemporary circumstances.
