“…4 Anthropometry was first used in 17 th century by a German physician J. Sigismund Elshwtz. 5 Forensic anthropologists have often been using the skeletal remains to reconstruct the living stature. Due to lack of availability of documented skeletal remains, researchers have followed the measurement of long bone dimensions among living people.…”

Introduction: Stature estimation is an indispensable part of the identification process of human skeletal remains or body parts. Height is also fundamental to assess growth and nutrition and calculating body surface area. Studies on anthropometric measurements of lower limbs among living people have been used as an important tool by forensic anthropologists to reconstruct the living stature of unidentified skeletal remains. Aims and Objectives:The aim of the present study was to estimate the stature from percutaneous tibial length (PCTL) by formulating linear regression equations and also by using multiplication factors, which would be useful in the field of forensic anthropology. Materials and Methods: Sample size measured 350 subjects of Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumkur, age group ranging from 17 to 22yrs were considered for the study. Height and PCTL were measured using the standard anthropometric technique. Results: Stature was estimated from PCTL using simple regression analysis. The height of males was significantly higher than that of females. The mean height in females and males was 158.87cm and 170.88 cm respectively; and mean PCTL was 38.54cm and 33.99cm in male and female respectively which was significantly (p<0.0001) greater for male compared with female. The regression formula derived for male was y=109.885+1.58x and for female was y=122.385+1.07x. The predicted height (y) so derived was in close approximation with that of the observed height. Conclusion: Stature can be estimated using the anthropometric measurements of tibia in an intact mutilated leg.

The Indian Constitution guarantees equal right of justice, life and liberty to all Indian citizens. Every person has freedom of expression (unlawful act committed upon him/her) and it remains when the person died by any mean. Identification of an individual is primary element to investigate both civil and criminal cases. With the time, complexity of crime advance and forensic experts' role become very crucial in investigation of crime. Crime investigation become very difficult and crucial when investigation agency find unknown mutilated body, bundle of bones or parts of bone. Without identification of dead person, investigation of crime become directionless. Key factor for identification are age, sex and stature. Many factors should be taken in to consideration to fix stature with help of bone. Many researchers had been clearly proved that long bone can be uses to estimate stature and it depend on race, ethnic and region. Very less work had been done to formulate regression formula from tibia in state of Gujarat. This study aims at formulate a regression formula to estimate stature from percutaneous length of tibia (PCTL) for native of Gujarat. This study was carried out in Department of Forensic Medicine, C.U. Shah Medical College, Surendranagar, Gujarat. Total 800 (400 male & 400 Female) undergraduate MBBS student between 18 to 25 years of age were participated in study. Their stature and percutaneous length of tibia were estimated with standard method and manner. Results are analysed and studied. Results show that there is highly significant in mean length of tibia and stature in both male and female participants (P<0.05). Stature and percutaneous length of tibia has positive correlation and regression formula is obtained to estimate stature from tibial length for natives of Gujarat.
