A Predictive Role of Foot Length in Estimation of Stature in Western Rajasthan Population

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

Abstract: Estimation of body height from its segments or dismember parts has important considerations for identifications of living or dead human body or remains recovered from mass disaster or other. Stature is an important consideration in determining the identity. Our aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between foot length and body height and to derive a regression equation for stature estimation from foot length and to find out the correlation between body height and foot length. The present study was conducted on 500 subject’s age above 15 years and below 72 years Bikaner Rajasthan India. Body height and foot length were measured in centimeter. All the measurements were taken by using standard measuring devices and standard anthropometric techniques. Correlation coefficients between stature and foot dimensions were found to be negative and statistically highly significant. Prediction of stature was found to be most accurate by regression analysis. Keywords: Body Height, Stature, Foot length, Correlation, Regression Equation
