In the version we have, yes. It might be different with different models.

my guy this is standard issue towards all hospitals, the stadiometer is the correct measurement

lol wtf 5'6

5 6 how

At home am 5 8.5 but 5 7 at the doctors

Lmao thats happen to me yesterday, im taller than my dad whos 5'6 and im taller than my friend whos 5'4 but after nurse measures it i ended up being 5'4 with shoes on lol.

That is a large error. Poor posture or sloppy use of the device can cause this. It's also possible that the device is not hung correctly or the other person was not actually that tall.

@@VivoPhys i might have a poor posture because i have some issues with my back and sometimes i kinda lean forward with my pelvis when i try to stand straight but still even if i had a bad posture that is to much of an error, when i measured at home with a metal tape 176 was just above my eyebrows so that cant be correct but i cant really tell my height i was expecting to measure atleast 183 to 185

You can use a measuring tape instead of a stadiometer to measure height. You just need to be sure the measuring tape is held perfectly perpendicular to the ground.

Hi i measured myself on double carpet 182.5 cm then i measured myself on laminate floor i measured 185.5 cm tall i am confused.? what is my height now if i measure on all flat surfaces or in basement i measure 185.6 but if i measure on carpet its 182.5 .?

@@kawazaki23 you have to stand on solid ground not carpet. I would think the right measurement would be 185.5cm

Hi pedro i just measured myself i am 185.8 cm i actually grew 3 milimeters wow maybe ill reach 186 cm i am 23 year old

@@kawazaki23 congrats man! Great height!

I see no reason why you couldn't.

Maybe some sloppy technique or perhaps you stood differently each time.

@@VivoPhys that's what I am thinking. Surely I am not shrinking at 30. Lol.

well for me I was measured 169 cm one time, which can not be true since my friend was measured as 178 and he is definitely not 9 centimeters taller than me, then I measured myself, I got 173cm and then later when I had another measurement with a stadiometer, I was measured as 172cm so yes it's all over the place.

@@SocialistFinn1 i actually believe doctors are really bad at measuring height because honestly i had a nurse at a school once measure me much less than I am, which was kinda annoying, lol. They actually rush things and don't measure properly.

@@Zizotron exactly

Hi 修理固成.It comes out to a BMI of 23.1 kg/m^2. This is the normal weight range. Unfortunately, this does mean I am leaner than the typical American (see video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7Bydphh3sWUeKs.html). Although much of the high income countries around the world are in similar obesity epidemics.

am the same 181 with out shles

Try looking up the exact make and model of the stadiometer you are trying to learn to get more specific help.

That depends on the shoe. Some shoes only add half an inch to your height, most common is 0.75-1 inch though

He said “AROUND 6 foot maybe a little under”, you’re just proving what he already stated.

@Prosper yup it makes your shorter

@@shulakb197 How much does it makes you shorter could it be 0,5 cm or even a 1cm???

@@lemarocain2716 it isn’t used for measuring height so by 0.5-1cm (not a big difference but it’s still not completely accurate)

It’s actual the opposite, lmfao. Tape measures are flimsy and tend to give inconsistent readings, especially if you’re doing it by yourself. Stadiometers are stable and equipped with levers and other types of mechanisms to ensure accuracy.

Why do the inches look larger than on a tape measure?
