The study aims to develop a regression formula to estimate stature from the humerus length for the north Indian population.
Conducted on 90 undergraduate medical students aged 18–23 years in north India
Measured percutaneous length of the humerus on both sides
Analyzed the correlation between humerus length and stature using regression analysis
Found a linear relationship between humerus length and stature in both genders
In males, 1 cm increase in right humerus leads to 0.672 cm increase in stature
In males, 1 cm increase in left humerus leads to 0.666 cm increase in stature
In females, 1 cm increase in either humerus results in 0.813 cm increase in stature
