The purpose of this research is to examine standing height in both Kosovan genders as well as its association with foot length, as an alternative to estimating standing height. A total of 1623 individuals (830 male and 793 female) participated in this research. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of ISAK. The relationships between body height and foot length were determined using simple correlation coefficients at a ninety-five percent confidence interval. A comparison of means of standing height and foot length between genders was performed using a t-test. Then a linear regression analysis was carried out to examine extent to which foot length can reliably predict standing height. Results displayed that Kosovan male are 179.52±5.96cm tall and have a foot length of 26.22±1.19cm, while Kosovan female are 165.72±4.93cm tall and have a foot length of 23.52±1.01cm. The results have shown that both genders made Kosovans a tall nation but not even close to be in top tallest nations. Moreover, the foot length reliably predicts standing height in both genders; but, not reliably enough as arm span.

国民身高的站立高度及其利用脚长测量的估计:

这项研究的目的是检查科索沃性别中的站立高度及其与脚长的关系,作为估计站立高度的替代方法。共有1623个人(830位男性和793位女性)参加了这项研究。根据ISAK的协议进行人体测量。使用简单的相关系数以95%的置信区间确定身高与脚长之间的关系。使用t检验比较性别之间站立高度和脚长的平均值。然后进行线性回归分析以检查脚长可以可靠地预测站立高度的程度。结果显示,Kosovan男性是179.52±5.96cm高,脚长为26.22±1.19cm,而Kosovan女性是165.72±4。身高93厘米,脚长23.52±1.01厘米。结果表明,这两种性别都使科索沃人成为一个高大的国家,但甚至没有接近最高的国家。此外,脚长可以可靠地预测男女的站立高度。但是还不够可靠。
