Height measurement is the process of determining how tall a person or object is, typically using a measuring tape or a stadiometer. It is usually recorded in units such as centimeters or inches. Accurate height measurement is important in various fields, including healthcare, where it helps assess growth and development in children, and in sports, where it can influence performance. To measure height, the individual stands straight against a wall or measuring device, with their heels, back, and head touching the surface. The measurement is taken from the floor to the highest point of the head. Proper technique ensures reliable results, which can be used for medical assessments or personal records.
