Determining the Stature Estimation from Facial Parameters amongst Sangli District Population | Chapter 10 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7
Introduction: A person's stature is a significant determinant of their identity. Because of cultural, nutritional, and environmental differences, each race requires its own findings for estimating stature. Many studies have been done on estimating stature using various body parts such as the hands, trunk, entire spinal column, upper and lower limbs, individual long and short bones, foot and foot prints.
The following are the goals and objectives for this project. The goal is to find a link between stature and facial height and bizygomatic breadth in Sangli district males and females.
Material and Methods: A total of 259 males and females from the Sangli district population, aged 18 to 60 years, were studied. The subject's height was measured with a measuring tape in an upright position. A Vernier calliper was used to measure face height and Bizygomatic facial breadth. The data was statistically analysed, and regression equations were created using regression coefficient.
Observation and Results: Male stature is connected with Kattunayakan, Mumbai, and Nepalese populations; it is lower than Gujjars, central Indian, Efik, and Haryanvi populations, but greater than Jat, Guajarati, and Shrilankan populations in this study. Males had a mean height of 166.80 9.19 cms, a mean facial height of 11.020.65 cms, and a mean Bizygomatic breadth of 11.810.69 cms. When it comes to women. The average stature was 152.916.684 centimetres, with a mean facial height of 10.050.67 centimetres and a mean bizygomatic breadth of 11.500.89 centimetres.
Conclusion: All of the criteria, including stature, facial height, and bizygomatic breadth, were shown to be greater in males than girls. There is a link between facial characteristics and stature. In both boys and females, the face height is more trustworthy than the bizygomatic width for estimating stature using regression equation.
