Background: Stature is an important indicator of identification, which helps in medical legal cases in the rapid identification of suspects. There are numerous means to establish stature, and their significance lies in the simplicity of measurement, applicability, and accuracy of prediction. This is useful for anatomists to calculate stature in the North Indian population based on foot length and breath. Aim and Objective: The estimation of stature from foot length and breath with its clinical application. Materials and Method: The data was collected from 300 asymptomatic, healthy medical students (150 males and 150 females) belonging to the North Indian population. The age group ranged from 18 to 50 years. Observation and Results: The correlation between foot length and stature (r = 0.219) was greater than that between foot breadth and stature (r = 0.116), indicating foot length to be a better predictor of stature. Conclusion: Dimensions of feet can provide good reliability in the estimation of stature. The correlation coefficient was highest between stature and foot length in both males and females. |
