“…Previous studies have been established that stature can be reconstructed from various body parts and individual bones with reasonable accuracy. Earlier studies have employed skull and cephalo-facial anthropometry [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], long bones and their fragments [25][26][27][28][29], scapula and hip bones [30][31][32][33], and small bones of hand and foot [34] for the estimation of stature. It has been shown that the height estimation by the measurement of various long bones has been attempted by several workers with variable degree of success worker being derived his/her own formula for calculating the stature from long bones.…”

Introduction: Personal identification is preliminary concern of medico-legal and forensic investigation. There are various methods including Anthropometry, Fingerprints, foot imprint, bite mark, lip print, ear print by the help of which personal identification can be performed. In India, the bare foot imprints are frequently recovered at the crime scene and stature of a person can be estimated using foot imprint method, so analysis of bare foot imprints are often a necessity for forensic investigation. Materials and Methods: In this study, we made an attempt to reconstruct the stature using foot imprints (footprint and foot outline) method. The 200 samples of male and female age ranges from 18 to 30 years were collected from urban area of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. Footprint and outline methods were employed in this study, to correlate the size (length) of foot-imprints with the stature (height) A Ad dd dr re es ss s f fo or r c co or rr re es sp po on nd de en nc ce e: :

“…Anthropologists can estimate the stature of an individual from decomposed and fully or partially skeletonized remains by means of anatomical or mathematical methods, [1][2][3][4][5][6] based on the whole skeleton 1,3,7,8 or single bones. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Regression formulae for the living stature estimation have been developed by these methods. Since stature is a population-related parameter, a method based on the same population of the remains is suggested by many Authors.…”

Anthropological profile in forensic context includes the assessment of parameters as ancestry, sex, age and stature of an individual by the analysis of skeletal remains. Stature can be estimated from decomposed and fully or partially skeletonized remains by means of anatomical or mathematical methods applied on the whole skeleton or single bones. Many authors calculated regression formulae for the living stature estimation by these methods, in particular based on a population similar to the remains recovered. Long bones are commonly used for stature estimation, but, when they are missing, methods involving different parts of the skeleton are needed. In this preliminary study we measured heights of the vertebral bodies in a female Caucasian Italian population, evaluated by images of morphometric X-ray absorptiometry based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in living subjects investigated for routine diagnostic purposes. Thoracic and lumbar segments of the spine were measured and statistical analysis was performed, thus obtaining regression formulae for estimated living stature from thoraco-lumbar spine segments (T6-T12, L1-L4 and T6-L4). We propose this method for stature evaluation in physical or forensic anthropology when the spine is available and long bones are missing.

“…However, this relationship between body parts has been used to investigate variations between sexes or ethnic groups and link them to their lifestyle, the pattern of their locomotion as well as energy expenditure [2]. Measurements such as hand dimensions, leg length and arm span have been used for height estimation in cases when complete evidence of height estimation is not available at the accident scene [8][9][10][11]. It is an established fact that relationships between body measurements do occur on account of variation in population and ethnic origin, which could be linked to differences in nutrition and physical activity [12].…”

A cross sectional study was conducted among 500 secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 26 years. Anthropometric measurements were obtained using standard protocols.The results showed significant sexual dimorphism in all the parameters, except for body mass index. In all the body length anthropometric parameters considered in this study, males had significantly (p < 0.05) higher mean values, except in biaxillary distances. Height showed positive and strong correlations with demispan length with good correlation of determination, indicating a stronger estimation ability than other parameters. A combination of two parameters tends to give better estimations, as explained by the adjusted R 2 ; and, therefore, combining the three parameters gives better estimation accuracy.In conclusion, Hausa males tend to have larger body proportions compared to females. Height showed strong positive correlation with demispan length. Body length an- AbstractThe relationships between dimensions of the parts of the human body and the whole body have drawn the attention of anatomists, anthropologists and scientists for many years. The purpose of this study was to investigate sexual dimorphism in some body lengths and other anthropometric parameters. It also aimed to generate formulae for height estimation using anthropometric measurements of some length parameters among the Hausa ethnic group of * Corresponding
