Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: The aim of present study was to find a relation between foot length and stature and to show if height could be predicted from foot length measurements in J&K (JAMMU AND KASHMIR) population. Methodology: A sample of 200 medical students (100 males and 100 females) between the age group of 18-25 years were taken up for this study All the measurements were taken at a fixed time of day, to eliminate diurnal variation. Anthropometric measurement i.e, foot length was measured separately on left and right side of each individual. Complete stature of each individual was measured. Results: The statistical analysis indicated that the correlation between stature and parameter i.e, foot length studied in males and females was positively and statistically highly significant. Thus the present study indicates a positive correlation between individual?s foot length and the stature.
