The purpose of this research is to examine standing height in both Kosovan genders in the Western Region as well as its association with sitting height, as an alternative to estimating standing height. A total of 664 individuals (338 male and 326 female) participated in this research. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of ISAK. The relationships between body height and sitting height were determined using simple correlation coefficients at a ninety-five percent confidence interval. A comparison of means of standing height and sitting height between genders was performed using a t-test. After that a linear regression analysis were carried out to examine extent to which sitting height can reliably predict standing height. Results displayed that Western Kosovan male are 179.71±6.00cm tall and have a sitting height of 94.79±3.60cm, while Western Kosovan female are 166.26±5.23cm tall and have a sitting height of 90.28±3.25cm. The results have shown that both genders made Western-Kosovans a tall group, a little bit taller that general Kosovan population. Moreover, the sitting height reliably predicts standing height in both genders; but, not reliably enough as arm span. This study also confirms the necessity for developing separate height models for each region in Kosovo as the results from Western-Kosovans don’t correspond to the general values.
