Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio for anthropometric indicators used to detect vertebral deformities.

	Sensitivity	95% CI	Specificity	95% CI	LR	95% CI
AHD positive1	0.85	(0.69, 1.01)	0.52	(0.42, 0.62)	1.77	(1.71, 1.85)
WOD positive2	0.70	(0.50, 0.90)	0.67	(0.57, 0.76)	2.10	(1.93, 2.28)
RPD positive3	0.67	(0.47, 0.87)	0.59	(0.50, 0.69)	1.60	(1.47, 1.74)

LR: Likelihood ratio for a positive result, 95% CI: 95% confidence interval

AHD: Arm span-height difference, WOD: Wall-occiput distance

RPD: Rib-pelvis distance

¹AHD positive: ≥ 4.0 cm

²WOD positive: ≥ 5 mm

³RPD positive: ≤ 2 fingerbreadths
