    Height significantly influences somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) latencies in both spinal and cortical pathways. This study found height to be the primary predictor for most SEP latencies, crucial for establishing normative data.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are crucial for assessing the integrity of the somatosensory nervous system.
    • Understanding factors influencing SEP latencies is essential for accurate clinical interpretation and establishing normative values.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between age, height, and gender with SEP latencies.
    • To determine the predictive value of height and age on SEP latencies in a diverse age group.

    Main Methods:

    • SEPs were recorded following median and posterior tibial nerve stimulation in 160 subjects (20-90 years).
    • Statistical analyses, including multiple correlation and regression, were employed to assess relationships between anthropometric/demographic data and SEP parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Height showed a strong correlation with spinal and cortical SEP latencies (N13, N20, N22, P40) and tibial central conduction (N22-P40).
    • Height was the most significant predictor for most SEP latencies, with age becoming significant only when combined with height.
    • Age and height effects on SEP latencies were independent of gender.

    Conclusions:

    • Height is the most critical anthropometric parameter influencing SEP latencies, excluding median N13-N20 conduction.
    • These findings support the use of height for developing accurate normograms for SEP interpretation.
