Subjects/methods:Ī cross-sectional study was conducted using a consecutive sample of 465 inpatients (19–91 years), from a university hospital. The objective of the study was to formulate and cross-validate a regression equation to predict height using hand length measurement and also to determine if predicted height (PH) will lead to significant errors when used in body mass index (BMI) calculation. Despite the utmost importance of body height in evaluating nutritional status, it is not always possible to obtain its measurement and height may have to be estimated.
