ABSTRACT
This paper reports a study of three components of stature for a sample of 605 healthy children aged 8-15. Suprapelvic height, pelvic height, and subischeal height are obtained by calculation on the basis of standing height, sitting height, total lower limb length, ankle height and bi-iliac width. By statistical analysis, sexual dimorphism is revealed in both suprapelvic height and pelvic height. The increase in pelvic height is greater in girls than boys, and occurs before the appearance of secondary sexual charateristics. The relationships between suprapelvic height and idiopathic scoliosis, and between pelvic height and low back pain are discussed.
