Height percentile is calculated based on British adults [31].
Limb length is calculated as the sum of femur and tibia lengths of the right leg: femur length is measured as the distance from the major trochanter to the mid point of the femoral epicondyles; tibia length is measured as the distance from the mid point of the femoral epicondyles to the medial malleolus.
