## Abstract Stature was measured (in cm) in 166 (120 male; 46 female) predominantly white adults (age range: 17β87 years). A radiograph of one hand of each subject was taken (for routine diagnostic purposes) and the interβarticular length of all five metacarpal bones was measured with a sliding cal
The differences between the variance structures of the bivariate pairs (height, length of the femur) and (height, length of the tibia) are insignificant when estimated from male and female samples of European derived populations, thus the regression lines for the predictions of height are parallel.
