[Relations of standing height, sitting height and weight of male Americans]

Based on log/log graphs correlating weight with standing and sitting height of U.S. Americans as given by Altman and Dittmer (1962) allometric relations between both heights are tested and found to give relatively good results. With lacking dates of age the standing and sitting heights can only be put in loose time junction by comparison with the length/age tables of Maaser (1974). Approximate relations can be gained between the log weight and standing or sitting height respectively by following a method set up and applied by the author (Sager 1981a, b) with good success.
