Multiplying the length of the femur by 2. 6 and adding 65 to it should be roughly the person's body height in centimeters. However, the sex and race of the person can affect this relationship between the femur and body height.

Is height dependent on forearm length or is it the other way round?

Neither, they are both dependant on genetic and environmental factors. The supposed relation is a correlation, not a cause.


If you have a graph on which forearm length and height are on the Y and X axis which variable should go on which axis?

== == It depends actually. If you were given a value that is a height and want to find the forearm length from that then the forearm length would go on the Y axis (because it is dependant on the height) and the height on the X-axis. If you are given a value that is the forearm length and you want to know the height then you will put height on the Y-axis and the forearm length on the X-axis.


What is the correlation of height vs shoe size?

From what I have read on a similar topic (foot length vs. theoretical shoe size to real-world shoe size), there is a loose correlation between height and shoe size. There is however a stronger correlation between foot length and forearm length - and really limb length in general. Simply said, a taller person will likely have longer limbs - arms and legs are simply part of being taller/shorter. However when you take into account different body proportions, such as a person having relatively long legs vs. a relatively tall torso (height to sholders while setting down) for their height. Well foot length is another proportion variable. So while a 6' tall (or taller) male will most likely wear a larger shoe size than a 5'6" tall male (or shorter) - two random 6' tall males will likely wear shoes of at least slightly different size. To add more complication to any correlation, foot length vs. shoe size are not "cast in stone" at all. Sorry if this is a bit long of an answer to say "no", but "no" is not really the answer - just closer to "yes".

How tall would you be if your humerus is 36 cm?

A 36cm humerus in a man indicates a height of about 5' 11.7" *A 36cm humerus in a woman indicates a height of about 5' 9.1" *** (2.89 x bone length) +78.10 = height in cm** (3.08 x bone length) + 64.67 = height in cm

Can you tell how tall you will be by your shoe size?

No, there is no direct correlation between shoe size and height. Height is mainly determined by genetics, nutrition, and overall health, while shoe size is determined by the length and width of your feet.

How to convert linear yards to lbs?

A yard is a measurement of length, width, height, and distance. A pound is a measurement of mass, or the amount of matter in an object. There is no direct correlation between the two, and hence no conversion is possible.
