“…paralysis, fractures, amputation, scoliosis and pain). Because of these factors, an estimate of stature has to be acquired from other reliable anthropometric indicators such as hand and foot lengths (Sanli et al, 2005;Agnihotri et al, 2007;Agnihotri et al, 2008;Kanchan et al, 2008;Rastogi et al, 2008;Uhrová et al, 2015), knee height (Hickson & Frost, 2003;Fatmah, 2010;Karadag et al, 2012;Fogal et al, 2014), length of the forearm (Ilayperuma et al, 2010), length of the sternum Menezes et al, 2011), vertebral column length (Nagesh & Pradeep Kumar, 2006), sitting height (Fatmah), length of scapula (Campobasso et al, 1998), arm span (Jarzem & Gledhill, 1993;Aggarwal et al, 2000;Mohanty et al;Hickson & Frost;Fatmah;Datta Banik;Ter Goon et al;Bjelica et al, 2012;Popovic et al, 2015;Vujovic et al, 2015) as well as cranial sutures , skull (Bidmos & Asala, 2005;Bidmos, 2006), facial measurements (Sahni et al, 2010) etc. Therefore, all these anthropometric indicators, which are used as an alternative to estimate stature, are very important in predicting loss in stature connected with aging.…”

SUMMARY:The purpose of this research is to examine stature in both Kosovan sexes as well as its association with arm span, as an alternative to estimating stature. A total of 1623 individuals (830 boys and 793 girls) participated in this research. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of ISAK. The relationships between stature and arm span were determined using simple correlation coefficients at a ninety-five percent confidence interval. Then a linear regression analysis was carried out to examine extent to which arm span can reliably predict stature. Results displayed that Kosovan boys are 179.52±5.96 cm tall and have an arm span of 181.29±7.02 cm, while Kosovan girls are 165.72±4.93 cm tall and have an arm span of 165.60±5.87 cm. The results have shown that both sexes made Kosovans a tall nation but not even close to be in the top tallest nations. Moreover, the arm span reliably predicts stature in both sexes.

“…6,7 In this way, anthropological studies on the body parts are widely used in criminal cases, terrorist attacks and natural disasters to identify victims. 8,9 Anatomical methods based on reconstruction of entire body can't be useful for stature estimation. However, stature predicting from body parts found in these events can be performed by mathematical methods and linear regression equations can find the relation between body parts and stature.…”

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.

“…However, the exact body height cannot always be determined the usual way because of various deformities of the extremities or in patients who have undergone amputations or similar injuries. In such circumstances, an estimate of body height has to be derived from other reliable anthropometric indicators such as hand and foot lengths (Agnihotri et al, 2007(Agnihotri et al, , 2008Kanchan et al, 2008;Rastogi et al, 2008;Sanli et al, 2005), knee height (Fatmah, 2005;Hickson & Frost, 2003;Karadag et al, 2012), length of the forearm (Ilayperuma et al, 2010), length of the sternum (Menezes et al, , 2011, vertebral column length (Nagesh & Pradeep Kumar, 2006), sitting height (Fatmah), length of scapula (Campobasso et al, 1998), arm span (Aggrawal et al, 2000;Bjelica et al;Datta Banik;Fatmah;Hickson & Frost;Jarzem & Gledhill, 1993;Mohanty et al;Ter Goon et al) as well as cranial sutures , skull (Bidmos, 2006;Bidmos & Asala, 2005), facial measurements (Sahni et al, 2010) etc. Therefore, all these anthropometric indicators which are used as an alternative to estimate body height are very important in predicting agerelated loss in body height.…”

Body Height and Its Estimation Utilizing Arm Span Measurements in Serbian Adults

SUMMARY:Anthropologists recognized the tallness of nations in the Dinaric Alps long time ago. As the modern Serbians fall more into the Dinaric racial classification than any other does, the purpose of this study was to examine the body height in Serbian adults as well as the relationship between arm span as an alternative to estimating the body height, which vary in different ethnic and racial groups. The nature and scope of this study analyzes 394 students (318 men, aged 20.13±1.47 and 76 women, aged 19.59±1.46) from the University of Novi Sad to be subjects. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of the ISAK. Means and standard deviations were obtained. A comparison of means of body heights and arm spans within each gender group and between genders were carried out using a t-test. The relationships between body height and arm span were determined using simple correlation coefficients and their 95% confidence interval. Then a linear regression analysis was performed to examine the extent to which the arm span can reliably predict body height. The results have shown that male Serbians are 181.96±6.74 cm tall and have an arm span of 184.78±8.41 cm, while female Serbians are 166.82±5.88 cm tall and have an arm span of 164.67±8.09 cm. Compared to other studies, the results of this study have shown that both genders make Serbian population one of the tallest nations on the earth. Moreover, the arm span reliably predicts body height in both genders. However, the estimation equations, which were obtained in Serbians, are substantially different alike in other populations, since arm span was close to body heights: in men 2.82±4.89 cm more than the body height and in women 2.15±4.68 cm less than the body height. This confirms the necessity for developing separate height models for each population.
