No blocking method discontinuity is identified inside the selected cycle span, but one or more longitudinal changes require explicit harmonization conditions before pooling.

Praxis harmonization actions
- Apply cycle-specific eligibility rules and restrict the pooled analytic population to a defensible common target population.
- Verify merge grain, companion variables, and component-specific analytic guidance for the new file context.
- Confirm that the construct and coding are unchanged before pooling or recoding.

No normalized longitudinal change evidence is available for this variable. Absence of events must not be interpreted as proof of cross-cycle equivalence.

CDC/NCHS documentation supports continuity of the core NHANES anthropometry protocol across Continuous NHANES. Indexed differences for standing height are limited to dataset context and documentation wording, not a confirmed measurement discontinuity.
Evidence provenance: CDC/NCHS source-confirmed evidence · Praxis deterministic adjudication
Evidence signals: source-stated
Praxis harmonization actions
- Pool standing height across calibrated cycles without a method adjustment when no substantive variable-level change is present. Preserve age eligibility and relevant measurement comment-code exclusions.
