Instructions for use: To determine the “pelidisi,” locate in the left-hand column the child’s sitting height in centimeters. With a ruler follow the weights in kilograms to the right until the proper figure is reached. Trace upward in that column to the heavy figure at the top, which indicates the pelidisi.
FOOTNOTE:
THE NUTRITIONAL INDEX—THE “PELIDISI”
Pirquet believes that the sitting height is a basis for the more accurate estimation of the nutritional state than is the standing height. It was demonstrated that the cube of the sitting height in centimeters is approximately ten times the weight in grams of the normal person. With this formula in mind, it becomes easy to compute the nutritional state in percentages, when the sitting height and the weight are known. The formula would read:
