“…Studies have shown that hand dimensions vary in different races. The Nigerian female hand was found to be wider and shorter than that of their foreign counterparts [17]. We devised the linear regression equations as well as correlation for the estimation of stature from different measurements of hand and foot.…”

“…The regression formulae for aforementioned three samples were: y =3.16x +111.5; y = 3.504x +96.46 and y = 5.07x + 71.67 respectively. Rastogi et al, [17] calculated hand length on both the sides and in both the sexes in north and south Indian populations. They found a highly significant correlation between hand length and height of the individual.…”

“…Thus linear regression equations using foot length is the best parameter for stature estimation (Krishan and Sharma 2007; Agnihotri., et al 2007a) [4,5]. Multiple regression equations give better results than linear regression equations (Rastogi., et al 2008) as the R value was highest in the combination of foot length and foot width in all the formulae [20].…”

The aim of this study is to develop formulae for stature and sex estimation through foot length and foot width in major races of Malaysia. A total of 150 subjects (75 males and 75 females) ranging in age from 20 to 30 years were taken from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Kampus Kuala Lumpur (UKMKKL). Statistical analysis indicated that bilateral variation was insignificant for all the foot measurements. Sex differences were found to be highly significant for all the measurements. For races stature was higher significantly in Chinese than Malay but no significant differences were found in all the foot measurements. The highest correlation was found between stature and foot length in all groups. Linear and Multiple Regression Analysis were used for stature estimation. The correlation coefficients between stature and all the foot measurements were found to be positive and statistically significant. Estimation of stature was found to be the most accurate by Multiple Regression Analysis. Formulae for sex estimation were obtained by using Classification Tree. Sex estimation formulae can help to determine the sex with 86.3% -87.5% in females and 85.2% -85.7% in males by using foot length while 68.4% -76.8% in females and 77.8% -81.0% in males by using foot width.

“…Another impression evidence that is also an important piece of evidence in forensic anthropometry is handprint, where one can obtain information such as height, weight and sex provided by formulae. Several numbers of studies have presented the relation between stature and hand and handprint among different human population utilizing linear and multiple regression analysis [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. The measurements of hand and handprint showed positive correlation with stature and they also found that hand length and handprint length has the strongest correlation and lowest SEE.…”

There are various studies of stature estimation which is very important for formulation of biological profile and is population specific. This study was conducted to estimate height using hand and handprint dimensions among Malaysian population. This study comprises 200 voluntary male and 200 voluntary female subjects with age ranging from 20 to 60 years. Eight anthropometric measurements were taken on each hand and its corresponding prints. All the data was statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistic 19 software. The result indicated that hand length and handprint length has the strongest correlation with stature for male and female subjects. However, for unknown gender, it was showed that almost all of the hand dimensions measured in this study except for pinky finger length showed strong correlation with stature for both right and left hand while for handprint measurements, only hand length and palm length gave better correlation with stature. Formulae for stature estimation using various hand and handprint dimensions were derived successfully for both linear and multiple regression for the ease of data availability in future use.
