Objective Stature estimation is an important biological factor for forensic medicine to identify an individual. Forearm length can be used for the prediction of the stature in different populations. In the present study, the relation between forearm length and height was evaluated. Methods In a cross sectional study, a sample of 100 males and 100 females (aged 18 to 25 years) medical students from Iranian population was randomly entered into the study. Left forearm was measured by measuring tape. Stature was measured in standard position. The linear regression analysis was used to estimate the relation between forearm length and the stature. Results The mean age of subjects was 22 ± 2.21 years. Mean age of male cases was 22 ± 2.8 years and female cases was 21.9 ± 1.81 years and there wasn't significant difference in the age of sex groups (P = 0.314). A significant differences were recorded in the height and forearm length of subjects between two sex groups (P = 0.0001). There was a correlation between height and forearm length of all subjects (r = 0.643, P = 0.0001). According to the linear regression, there was a relation between height and upper arm length of subject in all cases. Conclusion According to the results, forearm length was a moderate predictor for stature estimation of medical students in Iranian population.

“…Rakhee Verma et al [15] have reported that foot length is a reliable predictor of stature in both sexes. Twisha Shah et al [3] have stated that if shoulder width, foot length or arm length is known, height and sex can be calculated. Harshvardhan et al [1] have concluded that the foot length provided medium reliability and accuracy in estimating stature in males and females.…”

“…The information about the size and shape of bones in feet can be from the foot length of studies by various authors [2]. There are also various studies of stature estimation from foot length and breadth, small bones of foot and foot prints [3]. The height estimation is as important as other parameters like age, sex and race especially in medico-legal cases [4].…”

Introduction:The height estimation is as important as other parameters like age, sex and race especially in medico-legal cases. The environmental and genetic factors influence the development of various parts of body. Although bilateral symmetry is a feature seen in humans, there is asymmetry in the foot length without gender or handedness bias.Aim: To study the relationship of human height with foot length and to derive a mathematical module to predict the height from foot length.Materials and Methods: This is a Cross-sectional study carried out in Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore in 234 individuals aged between 18 and 25 years of age. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression were employed for the Statistical analysis of the data Results: The overall mean foot length observed was 22.82 ±1.10 cms. There was significant difference in the mean values between right and left foot length which was statistically significant (P value = <0.001). The height showed a statistically significant positive correlation with left foot length in both males and females. Linear regression equation was derived to predict height from foot length in both males and females. Conclusion:In the present study, there was a statistically significant difference in right and left side mean foot length measurements in both sexes. A positive correlation was observed between height and foot length and left foot length had better correlation with height in both sexes. It was concluded from further analysis that other parameters need to be considered for better predictability of height.

“…The body segments characteristics are different in different populations and so their dimensions can be used for predicting the stature or sex. In this regard, pelvis was the first topic of interest [6]. The sex differences in pelvis can result from genetic factors, environmental factors affecting growth and development (nutrition, physical activity, and pathologies), and the interaction of these factors [7].…”

Background: Skeleton is an excellent investigating material in living and non-living population for genetic, anthropological and forensic purposes. Anatomical knowledge of human osteology, in the evaluation of death may help to shed light on legal issues such as sex and age determination, parentage and racial identity. With racial differences, it's difficult to implement a uniform method for determining sex. Therefore, the need for present study was felt. Many bones of skeleton present size related sexual differences, those of the pelvis usually displayed differences in morphology independent of size as the sex hormones influence the reproductive functions.In the present study an attempt has been made to arrive at appropriate metric data, regarding sex determination of North Indian pelves using indices calculated upon dry hip bones, sacrum & pelvis as a whole.
