Dereviation of Regression Equation for the Estimation of Stature from Cranial Dimensions in Western Rajasthan Populations
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The aims of this study is to estimate the height of Adult subject of resident in different districts of Western Rajasthan population from some cephalic Parameters such as head length & head breadth An attempt is also made in present study to find out correlation and to derive a regression formulae between cephalic parameters and stature. The head length and head breadth of a randomly selected sample of 500 subjects whose age range from less than 20 to more than 70 years, were measured directly with a pair of metal spreading calipers and anthropometer. The subject covers a selection of 291 male & 209 female. All measurements were taken by internationally recommended standard methods and techniques. The results show that two parameter correlated positively with stature except head breadth in females. Also, regression analysis showed that the cephalic dimensions gives a better prediction of stature than any other body part measurements and it could be useful in forensic investigations and in Anthropometry. Keywords: Stature, Cephalic, Head length Head breadth, Correlation, regression.
