description of the problem.
Connections to the literature are
unclear or debatable.
Identifies a relevant research
issue.
Research questions are
succinctly stated, connected to
the research issue, and supported
by the literature.
Constructs and variables have
been identified and described.
Connections are established with
the literature.
Presents a significant research
problem related to the field of
public health.
Articulates clear, reasonable
research questions given the
purpose, design, and methods of

connected to relevant, reliable
theoretical and research
literature.
Narrative integrates critical and
logical details from the peer-

assumptions are not identified.
The research design is identified
and described in sufficiently
detailed terms.
Some limitations and
assumptions are identified.
The purpose, questions, and
design are mutually supportive
and coherent.
Attention is given to eliminating
alternative explanations and
controlling extraneous variables.
Appropriate and important
limitations and assumptions
have been clearly stated.
Methods:
Context,
Population, &
Sampling
The context, population, or
sample is not identified or
described.
The sampling strategy is
inappropriate for the research
questions.
The description of the context,
population, or sampling strategy
is confusing, lacks relevance to
the purpose, is incomplete, or
fails to identify specific
quantitative or qualitative
details.

sampling strategy is adequately
identified and described.
The size of the population,
sample, and comparison groups
is identified.
The description of the context
and population is meaningful,
including both quantitative and
qualitative description.
The sampling process is

representative sample of the
population.
Attention is given to controlling
for extraneous factors and
sampling error.

NSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the research project is to develop and/or improve your ability to design research.
If you have a particular research interest then this course might serve as an opportunity to begin
developing ideas for that research.
If you do not have a particular research interest, you will choose another topic and either locate
some existing data or create your own data.
The main objectives of this assignment are related to developing your ability to correctly
integrate and present the components of research; not actually conduct research.
This does not have to be an elaborate project. However, at a minimum, your project should be of
a length similar to the attached Arm Span Project document. Your project will be evaluated using
the attached Research Project Grading Rubric, so you should refer to it for specific guidelines.
Note:
Research Project components should build on
all
previous research components and
include any revisions suggested by the instructor.
Important:
To earn a grade, you must submit an SPSS .sav file containing the raw data used for
the report. The variables must be named logically in order so that the instructor is able to
replicate the analyses described in the report.
Proposal
Create a research proposal for your project which includes the following:
o
Proposed Topic
o
Proposed Title
o
Proposed Research Question (Restrict to one
question)
o
Proposed Data Source (this can be real or fabricated data)
and variables.:
Independent variable
Dependent variable
o
Proposed Statistical Methods
Place your name and the course number in the header of your assignment and submit by
11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 4.
Introduction
Submit a draft (not a rough draft) of the introduction. Follow the guidelines in the AMA
Manual of Style and the Arm Span Project. Be sure to include the type of study you propose
to conduct or simulate. Include your name and course number in the header. Submit by 11:59
p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 5.
Methods
Following the guidelines in the AMA Manual of Style and the Arm Span Project, submit the
methods section of your project by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 6. Include
your name and course number in the header.
Note:
This assignment should build on the previous research component and include any
revisions suggested by the instructor.

Results
Following the guidelines in the AMA Manual of Style and the Arm Span Project, submit your
results section of the project by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7. Include your
name and course number in the header.
Note:
This assignment should build on the previous research component and include any
revisions suggested by your instructor.
Final submission
For your final submission, integrate feedback from all previous project assignments. You
should include a Discussion section at the end of the project. Follow the guidelines in the
AMA Manual of Style and the Arm Span Project. All work should be properly cited and/or
abbreviated. Submit by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.
Note:
This assignment should build on
all
previous research components and include any
revisions suggested by the instructor.

The Suitability of Arm Span as a Substitute Measurement for Height
HLTH 501
David M. Barton
1
Abstract
Many anthropometric equations rely on individual height. Accurate height is not obtainable when
various skeletal abnormalities exist. Arm span is proposed as a possible substitute for height.
Thirteen subjects’ arm span and height were measured. The Pearson R for arm span and height was
0.96 (p<0.05). Regression analysis was used to build and equation predicting height from arm span
(Height = 0.8655 x Arm Span + 9.3368). Results of this study show that arm span and height are
strongly correlated and arm span can be used as a reliable predictor of height.
Introduction
In many medical, physiological, and human performance measurements the height of human
subjects is used as a predictive and/or classification variable. Equations predicting Body Mass
Index, pulmonary function, caloric expenditure, and body fat percentage are just a few of the
many equations using height as a predictive variable.
1
However, spinal curvature conditions
such as kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphoscoliosis make it difficult to determine the
correct height of the individual and thereby necessitating the need to identify a substitute
anthropometric measurement.
2
The need for an anthropometric measurement to serve as a substitute for height has long been
recognized. One possible substitute measurement is arm span, that is – the distance from the
left middle finger tip to the right middle fingertip of outstretched arms parallel to the ground.
This relationship is notably shown in the drawing Vitruvian Man by Leanardo da Vinci (See
Figure 1.).
