LOINC long common name : PhenX - recumbent length protocol 020702;
LOINC short name : Recumbent length proto;
LOINC description : Recumbent length is measured from the top of the participant's head to his or her
heels while the participant is lying recumbent. This measure is taken among young
individuals. Under usual field conditions, for reliability, the Anthropometrics Working
Group suggests that the measurements be taken in duplicate. A third measurement should
be taken if the first two measurements differ by 1.0 cm (1/4 inch). If it is necessary
to take a third measurement, the two closest measurements are averaged. Should the
third measurement fall equally between the first two measurements, all three should
be averaged.;
