How do you measure your heights?

Edit Post

Quote from: ilovescience on February 03, 2022, 05:35:23 AMHow old are you may I ask? Our heights shrink because of the loss of vertebrae discs due to long hours activities or aging. So some people lose their heights by an inch compared to their youth.

170 cm was measured when I was around 15 yrs old.
I guess my growth stopped at 13/14 years old mark.
Now I am 29 yrs, so not sure if my measurement was exaggerated back then

It'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.

I use the stadiometer at my gym, once in the morning right after waking up and once at night. I take the median and that’s my height. No reason to lie to myself with tricks and timing to get a “maximum height”.

Look, just have a full legs Rx, it costs in my country 40 euros even without any health insurance of National Health Service.
 
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.

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.

China 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?
