Every measurement on the stadiometer we use (Seca Leicester model) has a slight error, this videos demonstrates it.

Measuring with a tape measure against the wall probably has a greater margin of error for the following reasons: (1) the tin can may not be exactly at right angles to the wall, (2) the pencil mark may not be made at exactly the lowest point of the can, (3) the bottom of the tape measure may not be sitting exactly at floor level, (4) the tape measure may not be exactly perpendicular to the floor. For those reasons, I would expect a margin of error with the tape measuring of at least +/- 1mm, perhaps even +/- 2 or 3 mm. I think the stadiometer would have a lower margin of error...maybe +/1 0.5 mm . What you should do is make multiple measurements using the tape and stadiometer (at least 10 measurements), and take the average for each. My guess is you will find the tape measurements vary more than the stadiometer measurements.

For the longest time I've been measuring myself against a slightly uneven closet and I've only found out today that it's not 100% straight. I've tested all the walls in my apartment and they all consistently give me 3mm more height compared to my closet that I've been using for height measuring for a decade. I also tested all the walls and the closet with a water level. My wall is 100% straight and it turns out I'm actually 3mm taller than I thought I was. I've always avoided measuring myself against the wall because I don't want to mark it with a can. I'm officially 183.3cm straight out of bed (183.6cm if I force my posture) and 181.3cm (181.6 forced) after gym late at night. I'm consistently at 182 - 182.5cm at 1 - 5pm. I claim 182cm because I'm 182 - 182.5cm throughout the vast majority of the day. I only start dropping below 181.5 - 182cm after being on my feet for a very long time and after gym.

so rob is it okay when I just substract 2mm when measuring with this stadiometer or should I subtract 3mm ? I have the feeling that 3mm is a bit too much to subtract . 2mm seems more accurate . maybe 2.5 . thats what we also see in your video but you said that it adds "1/8 of an inch" but that would be 3.1 - 3.2 mm which is not true as we see in your example in this video . you are 2-2,5 shorter than what the stadiometer measures not 3.2mm

If you are sure your wall and floor don't have a big slope/slant, then I'd say the home method should be fine... But 4cm is such a big difference. Maybe try to find another room or even friend's house to test your height and see what you get.

I know it is annoying as hell. Those people know nothing about measurement systems. What is also annoying is when they write someone’s height in feet in inches, they incorrectly write a decimal. For example, if someone is 5’8”, they write ,”5.8 feet” which is inaccurate because there are 12 inches in 1 foot, not 10. 5.8 feet is 69.6” not 68”.

I legit cannot get an accurate reading on the wall method. My back rounds out when my arms are raised above my head and I end up shorter due to that. My best method is nailing a tape measure to my door and making sure the bottom is perfectly on the ground. I stand up to it and looking into a partially full body bathroom mirror. The mirror is straight onto the wall with no distortion and it gives a nearly identical reading to the stadiometer at the doctors office. I have very flat hair so this works for me

I know, I think it's a faulty machine, or my measueing is terrible. But every time I measure at home I het the exact same result corresponding to the time of day, regardless where I do it in the house. At most I get a +/- 1cm difference, and I can usually correct this by standing straighter, or being more careful with the aerosol can (which is hitting the high point of the head). On thing, I always do the measure with back to the wall, because my hoise is very uneven, and when I stand facing the wall it can add 2/3cm because the heels are raised in comparison to the floor where it hits the wall (the inclination is even visible to the eyes). But I have learned to use cisual marks to ensure I don't move the aerosol. Perhaps I should buy a stadiometer?

It's normal. I'm 5'10 ¾. I usually claim 5'11. When I go outside in public with typical sneakers (they add like 1.15 inches), when most people guess my height, they usually say 6'1 or 6'2. It's crazy, but normal for most of them. Most folks tell me "you're quite tall". I'm like 6'0 in basic sneakers, and 6'0 ¼ in AirMax LTD. That's why pretty much everyone lies about their height. It also messes up average heights in many countries. For example, people in Netherlands are usually the tallest in the world. Most people would say the average height in Netherlands is 6'1. But in fact, it's 5'11 ½. People think 5'10 is the average height for white males, which is wrong, and your example is just one out of many for that. The average white male height is 5'8-5'9. Locally it can go up to 5'10-5'11 in the tallest nations on the planet. I've been investigating and monitoring this my whole life. 90% people lie about their height and they're all surprised once they get measured. Average height for white men is 5'8-5'9 (173-176 cm) Average height for white women is 5'4-5'5 (162-165 cm) Average height for mexican and arab men is 5'6-5'7 (167-170 cm) Average height for mexican and arab women is 5'4 (162 cm) Average height for asian men is 5'7 (170 cm) Average height for asian women is 5'4 (162 cm) Average height for indian and indonesian men is 5'5 (165 cm) Average height for indian and indonesian women is 5'1 (154 cm) Tallest countries average male heights (aged 20-40): Dinaric Alps [Hercegovina and Dalmatia (part of Bosnia & Hercegovina and south Croatia)] = 6'0 ½ (184 cm) Netherlands = 5'11 ½ (181 cm) Denmark = 5'10 ¾ (180 cm) Montenegro = 5'10 ¾ (180 cm) Bosnia & Hercegovina (whole country) = 5'10 ¾ (180 cm) Belgium = 5'10 ½ (179 cm) Sweden = 5'10 ½ (179 cm) Norway = 5'10 ½ (179 cm) Croatia = 5'10 ½ (179 cm) [north region is 5'8 ¾ (175 cm) and south region is 5'11 ¾ (182 cm)] Finland = 5'10 (178 cm) Iceland = 5'10 (178 cm) Serbia = 5'10 (178 cm) Slovenia = 5'9 ¾ (177 cm) Germany = 5'9 ¾ (177 cm) The rest of Europe and US averages from 5'8-5'9 (173-177 cm) For white men: Dwarf = 5'0 and below (152 cm and below) Very short = 5'1-5'4 (155-162 cm) Short = 5'5-5'7 (165-170 cm) Average = 5'8-5'9 (173-176 cm) Relatively tall = 5'10-6'0 (178-183 cm) Tall = 6'1-6'2 (185-189 cm) Very tall = 6'3-6'4 (190-194 cm) Giant = 6'5 and above (196 cm and above) For white women: Dwarf = 4'9 and below (145 cm and below) Very short = 4'10-5'0 (147-152 cm) Short = 5'1-5'3 (155-160 cm) Average = 5'4-5'5 (162-165 cm) Relatively tall = 5'6-5'8 (167-173 cm) Tall = 5'9-5'10 (175-178 cm) Very tall = 5'11-6'1 (180-185 cm) Giant = 6'2 and above (188 cm and above) For asian men: Dwarf = 4'10 and below (147 cm and below) Very short = 4'11-5'2 (150-157 cm) Short = 5'3-5'5 (160-165 cm) Average = 5'6-5'8 (168-174 cm) Relatively tall = 5'9-5'10 (175-178 cm) Tall = 5'11-6'1 (180-185 cm) Very tall = 6'2-6'3 (187-191 cm) Giant = 6'4 and above (193 cm and above) For asian women: Dwarf = 4'8 and below (142 cm and below) Very short = 4'9-4'11 (145-150 cm) Short = 5'0-5'2 (152-157 cm) Average = 5'3-5'5 (160-165 cm) Relatively tall = 5'6-5'7 (167-170 cm) Tall = 5'8-5'10 (175-178 cm) Very tall = 5'11-6'1 (180-185 cm) Giant = 6'2 and above (188 cm and above) For indian/indonesian men: Dwarf = 4'7 and below (140 cm and below) Very short = 4'8-4'11 (142-150 cm) Short = 5'0-5'2 (152-157 cm) Average = 5'3-5'5 (160-165 cm) Relatively tall = 5'6-5'8 (167-174 cm) Tall = 5'9-5'11 (175-180 cm) Giant = 6'0 and above (183 cm and above) For indian/indonesian women: Dwarf = 4'5 and below (135 cm and below) Very short = 4'6-4'8 (137-142 cm) Short = 4'9-4'11 (145-150 cm) Average = 5'0-5'2 (152-157 cm) Relatively tall = 5'3-5'5 (160-165 cm) Tall = 5'6-5'8 (167-174 cm) Giant = 5'9 and above (175 cm and above) These are all measured barefeet height from medical centers.

Used the can method and several walls. Been awake since 10. Been out and about today. Went to the park and did a workout too. Come home. It's 7.30 my measurements on different walls varies from 173.1-173.4 Quite significant difference in measurements. Would love to know how to get the measurement exact. Fair to say I'm a good 5ft8?

When lying down our discs aren't under as much stress as being upright, so are able to rehydrate (and slightly thicken) when we go to sleep. During the day, the water content of discs decreases very slightly.

Cuz our spines shrink from being up during the day for some time. It decompresses, and when u sleep it restarts it and repeats until u lay down or sleep.

Yes, the old blue stadiometer always gave 1/8th inch extra. I got tired having to repeat this all the time. The white one is much closer (feet/inches) to exact height.

I believe you're supposed to measure with ur spine, head, and backs of feet against the wall. So that everything is flush and straight. That gives a more accurate measurement. When u are facing the wall u will take a shorter measurement than what u are.
