Trying to measure one’s own height without additional help can lead to inaccurate measurements. There are certain steps you can follow if you want to measure your own height without having to leave the comfort of home. Find a flat, straight object such as a book, ruler, or box.Place the object on top of the head and stand with the back straight against a wall and feet flat.Ensure the chosen object is straight and parallel with the floor. This is easier to do by looking in a mirror.Use a pencil or other erasable writing instrument to mark the wall where the object touches the top of the head.Measure from the floor to the marking.A person’s height also changes throughout the day. It is higher in the morning and reduces towards evening. However, it will not cause any drastic change in BMI of a person. (Credits: www.medicalnewstoday.com)
