The aim is to develop models to estimate stature based on hand measurements in adults from Port Harcourt.
Measured hand dimensions (length and breadth) and stature in 400 adults.
Used Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses for model development.
Created sex-specific predictive equations for stature estimation.
Hand length strongly correlates with stature (r = 0.78 in males, r = 0.72 in females).
Hand breadth also shows positive correlations (r = 0.65 in males, r = 0.61 in females).
Multivariate models improve predictive accuracy over univariate models (males: R² = 0.65; females: R² = 0.58).

Regression models predict stature from hand dimensions in adults, suggesting use in forensic identification and clinical assessment.

Collins et al. (2025) studied this question.
