I discovered that measuring height is kinda technical especially we are living in an era where stloads of ppl are inflating their heights and rare ones care about how to exactly measure heights.
Rn I think seca213 or reach your top of skull with heavy objects facing towards a straight wall are 2 most reliable ways to exactly measure your heights but seca213 is a very expensive anthropometer so the latter is a more realistic option.
I measured my height in the latter way and the lowest height is 161.6cm barefoot at night but for multiple times I cannot reach that low height at night no matter how many times I measured my height so I think 161.6cm is caused by more stresses on my spine.
I think some of ppl are not really inflating their heights instead they are just really unknown about how to measure heights, like clamping a tape with feet to measure heights and other absurd ways of measuring.

You are referring to Xiaoming Huang LOL? I never measured my height that way
Quote from: ReadRothbard on February 03, 2022, 03:41:22 PMIt's very hard to do without a stadiometer, but I just mark the wall, stand straight as an arrow, put my head in the frankfurt plane, and put a straight, flat object on my head to press down my hair. Then, I look to see which measurement the top of my head lines up to. It should be pretty accurate within a millimeter or so.
Three days ago after I took a bath I just measured my height and I found out my top of skull cannot feel the touch of objects that I used to mark my skull top onto the wall which knocked my socks off and my height 'shrank' by 0.3cm bc of it!
That was a thrilling moment and my height reached a new lowest point! But I know that was bc my shampoo softened my hair and my skull's sense of touch was blunted so that I couldn't feel my skull as touched as before by the objects. But my height recovered to nearly 162cm at night barefoot at the next night.

If you need a prescription for Rx, just have a consultation with an ortophaedic doctor and tell or explain you want to know or that's for CLL and take the time to ask his opinion.
The consultation may cost from 35 to 80 euros or be free (but dificult to be free with NHS as its purpose is not to treat any disease).
You will have results by the milimeter for each leg (they are allmost never the same height) and you can even chose a place where you have it done at the hour of the day you prefer.
Any other method only very luckily will not induce you in (possibly big) measurements error.
Thx for you suggestions but I don't find any Rx in China's hospitals.
Quote from: bn44222 on February 22, 2022, 05:06:57 PMdo you think that work ?
Do I think what works? You mean my measurements? I think my measurement is the most accurate way to measure my height on par with measuring height with a stadiometer(but the prerequisite is that this stadiometer itself has no problems with accuracy.
Quote from: zaozari on February 23, 2022, 12:01:09 AMChina has no Rx in hospitals? What do you mean? How do they see bones and do other Rx diagnosis?
Do you mean Radiometer by Rx? If yes then I never heard of using Radiometers to measure heights or count out heights through other values.
Mind elaborating it any further?
