What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cross-Sectional. Intervention: Foot dimensions (foot length, breadth, and other measurements). Primary outcome: Correlation between foot dimensions and stature (R = 0.753 (males), R = 0.433 (females)).

December 14, 2015Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences

Foot length alone was the strongest predictor of stature, explaining 56.7% of the variance in males (R2=0.567) and 18.8% in females (R2=0.188).

Population

461 subjects from South Korea. Mean age of male participants was 41.6 and 38.4 for female participants.

Design

Cross-sectional

Key result

Foot length alone was the strongest predictor of stature, explaining 56.7% of the variance in males (R2=0.567) and 18.8% in females (R2=0.188).

Overview

Foot length may aid forensic stature estimation in males; leaves open validation in females and broader populations.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=461)

Structured PICO

Population

461 South Korean adults (175 male, 286 female) aged 20 to 69 years who underwent foot anthropometry measurements for stature prediction.

Exposure

Measurement of diverse foot dimensions (heel, metatarsal edge, instep, metatarsal, lateral malleolus, foot length, and foot breadth)

Outcome

Relationship between stature and diverse foot dimensions (prediction accuracy)

Main Result

Effect estimate: R = 0.753 (males), R = 0.433 (females)

Foot length is the most reliable predictor of stature among various foot dimensions in a South Korean population, providing useful information for forensic medicine.

Jee et al. (2015) reported a cross-sectional. Foot dimensions (foot length, breadth, and other measurements) was evaluated on Correlation between foot dimensions and stature (R = 0.753 (males), R = 0.433 (females)). Foot length alone was the strongest predictor of stature, explaining 56.7% of the variance in males (R2=0.567) and 18.8% in females (R2=0.188).
