Overview

Cross-sectional study finds hand measurements useful for stature and sex estimation in medical students, suggesting ergonomic applications.

Key Points

  • This study investigates the relationships between hand dimensions and stature, and evaluates hand anthropometry's role in estimating stature and sex among medical students.
  • Cross-sectional analytical study
  • 400 medical students (200 male, 200 female) aged 18-30
  • Hand measurements taken with digital vernier calipers; data analyzed using SPSS.
  • Mean stature: 178.28 ± 7.21 cm for males, 167.13 ± 6.90 cm for females (p < 0.001)
  • Best stature estimation models were RH3 for males and RH4 for females
  • Significant sex differences in hand types; females showed Hyperdolichocheir, males showed Mesocheir and Brachycheir.
