How can I accurately measure the height of a person standing?

Height-measuring instruments from seca make measuring easy, fast and precise.

• The patient stands barefoot (if possible) with his/her back to the wall.
• With feet together, ensure the heels are touching the wall.
• The body is erect and centered on the measuring rod.
• Confirm the corner of the eyes and the top of the ears are level (Frankfurt Line).
• To measure, the user places the headpiece against the scalp and locks it.

How can I measure and properly interpret waist circumference?

Overweight and obesity have become significant subjects in today’s healthcare because the more fat the body accumulates the higher chance of suffering from heart disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke and high blood pressure.

Distinguishing between apple-shaped and pear-shaped bodies is vital because this demonstrates where most of the fat is deposited within the body. Individuals who tend to store fat around the waist (apple-shaped bodies) are at a greater health risk than those who accumulate fat around the hips, thighs, and bottom (pear-shaped bodies). Thus, these are substantial reasons for the growing need of measuring tapes.
