“…Based on previous research, it can be observed that the assessment of body height in relation to other anthropometric parameters as predictors differs in different racial and ethnic groups (Anas et al, 2010) This indicates the need for a study in which it will be possible to accurately define the relationship between body height and other longitudinal parameters of adolescents living in the territory of Montenegro, and through this research they want to examine the real anthropometric specificities of adolescents in Montenegro (Vukotic, 2022). Many studies have confirmed that there is a certain correlation between body height and other potential parameters in different populations (Ilayperuma et al, 2009).…”

The purpose of this research is to determine a regression equation for estimation of stature from forearm length measurements. This research was carried out on 1200 subjects (604 male and 596 female) among the population of Montenegrin adolescents. The stature and forearm length measurements were taken according to the ISAK protocol, and the data were analyzed statistically. Linear regression analysis determined the prediction of forearm length on the criterion variable a body height at the significance level of p <0.05. These relations are presented in the form of scatter diagram. Thereby, we obtained the coefficient of determination, the multiple correlation coefficients, the partial correlation coefficient, the regression, t-test and standardized beta coefficient. The results of this research study confirmed that forearm length reliably predicts stature in both sexes of Montenegrin adolescents and revealed a very useful finding for physical anthropologists and experts from related fields. It was confirmed that there is a correlation between forearm length and body height (males: 31.9 %, females: 33.3 %).
