Background: A variety of anthropometric measures, such as arm span, facial measurements, foot length and breadth, vertebral column length, and so on, can be used to determine stature. Arm span has been found to be one of the most dependable predictors among them. Materials and Procedures: A total of 100 healthy subjects (17- 25 years old), 50 men and 50 females, were studied at Shridev Suman Subharti Medical College in Dehradun. Those who had a history of long-bone fractures or who had a spinal deformity were excluded from the study. Anthropometric technique and measuring tape were used to determine stature and arm span. The relationship between height and arm span Observations and Results: There was a statistically significant positive connection between mean height and arm span in both sexes and in total individuals. (p0.05; r=0.826 for male, r=0.750 for female). For the purpose of determining stature, linear regression equations were obtained for all subjects as well as both sex...

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. ...

Introduction: Forensic anthropology is a branch of physical anthropology which interacts with other disciplines pertaining to the understanding of crime and its investigations. Many human features have been  used  to  estimate  stature  from  skeletal  remains  and  body  parts  owing  to  the  established relationship between stature and different parts of the body. Aims: The study was carried out to establish standard anthropometric values for stature estimation by using hand length in the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria between January -April 2010.Methodology:A total of 407 right hand dominant students (210 males and 197 females) aged 18 –35 years who were purely of Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba origin by both parents and grandparents, are included in this study. Each person ...
