The goal of this study is to estimate stature or height from lower-limbs in male-children from the Uttar Pradesh (UP) districts of Chandauli and Mirzapur (India). 501 children aged eight (8) to fourteen years (14) old volunteered to take part in the research during the school year 2014-2015, and data was collected using multistage random sampling. On the right-side of each participant, four anthropometric measurements were taken: height, trochanterion length (TL), tibiale-laterale length (TLL), and biepicondylar femur breadth (BFB) (ISAK recommendation). The data was analysed, and an attempt was made to create a regression model based on the link between stature (dependent variable) and TL, TLL, and BFB (estimates). At P<0.05, all culled estimates showed a significant correlation. To compare authentic and estimated stature, an independent t-test was used, and all three segments were obtained after that. The constructed regression models worked well for estimating stature, and the Trochanterion length is a very reliable predictor of stature. Because regression models for stature prediction from the above-mentioned body segments were used in this work, the findings could be beneficial in establishing biological profiles during forensic investigations and disaster victim identification
