It has been argued that for comparative purposes (e.g., of nutritional effects), maximum adult stature in younger adulthood rather than average adult stature should be employed, to reduce variability due to different demographic age structures (Mays, ; Niskanen, Maijanen, McCarthy, & Junno, ). The revised Fully anatomical method included a linear equation with an age term (Raxter et al, : eq.…”
