Overview

Cross-sectional study estimates stature from foot and hand dimensions, indicating reliable methods for identification in populations.

Key Points

  • To estimate stature using hand and foot dimensions in the Yadav population, analyzing correlations and deriving regression formulas.
  • Cross-sectional study design
  • Sample size of 380 adults (190 males, 190 females)
  • Measurements of right and left hand and foot lengths
  • Statistical analysis using linear regression to determine correlations and derive formulas.
  • Females showed a higher correlation (r = 0.665) between stature and left hand length (LHL) than males.
  • The highest correlation value was found between stature and left foot length (LFL) (r = 0.814).
  • Derived regression formulas indicate foot length is a dependable variable for stature estimation.
