Introduction:The measurement of a person's height may be used for mass catastrophes, ethnographic study, and a variety of medical-legal applications. Materials and Methods: A stadiometer was used to measure height, and a spreading calliper was used to assess percutaneous tibial length. Technique for measuring stature: The subject was instructed to stand straight, with eyes front, both arms at the sides of the body, palms facing forward, both legs parallel to one another, both feet linked, big toe facing forward, and the head adjusted in the Frankfurt plane. Results: This suggests that the sample accurately reflected the population it was taken from. For both boys and females, the correlation values for tibial length and stature were close to +1, indicating a strong relationship. To evaluate the significance of correlation coefficients, a null hypothesis was established. Conclusion: The results of this investigation showed that height and percutaneous tibial length are positively correlated. For the estimate of height, separate formulas are required for men and females. |
