“…In our study we broadened the spectrum of assessment by including both males and females which has not been done in the above studies. KR Nagesh 17 estimated the stature from length of tibia, radius and ulna in medical students belonging to South Indian population. In his study, the multiple regression equations parameters showed higher correlation coeffi cients (0.829 in males and 0.747 in females).…”

Background: Stature estimation is one of the important parameters in establishment of the identity of a person. As said "Identifi cation is an individual's birth right", stature of an individual is an inherent character. Mass disasters like air crash, terrorist attacks etc. are quite frequent these days because of which dismembered body parts are being frequently brought to the medico-legal experts for generating data for identifi cation. Objective: The objective of this study is to estimate the stature from percutaneous tibia length (PCTL). Methods: This prospective study consisted of 150 males and 150 females between the age group of 20 to 30 years, born and brought up in Nepal. The duration of study is one year from October 2012 to October 2013. The parameters measured were stature and percutaneous tibia length. To fi nd out the correlation of percutaneous tibial length with that of the height and to evolve a regression equation formula necessary statistical evaluation has been done on the data obtained from 300 adult participants comprising of 150 males and 150 females. By using the regression equation formula so derived the height of an individual can be calculated by the help of percutaneous tibial length. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 11. P value less than 0.05 was considered as a signifi cant. Results: It was found that a signifi cant positive correlation existed between the stature and percutaneous tibial length with a correlation coeffi cient (r) of 0.562 in males and 0.71 in females and p value <0.001. Stature was estimated from PCTL using simple regression analysis Stature (cm) = 88.898+2.027 * PCTL (cm) for males and Stature (cm) = 75.954+2.253* PCTL (cm) for females. Conclusion: A highly signifi cant correlation of stature was observed with percutaneous length in both sexes. The result of this study would be useful for anthropologists and forensic medicine experts. Stature can be estimated from PCTL using simple regression analysis.

“…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.…”

Stature and its Estimation Utilizing Arm Span Measurements in Kosovan Adults: National Survey

et al. 2017

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.

The Han Chinese people are the main ethnic group in China and the largest ethnic group in the world. The dimensions of the hands and feet have been successfully used for the estimation of stature. A total of 26,927 healthy adult subjects, comprising 13,221 men and 13,706 women, were recruited. The survey samples were chosen through random cluster sampling. The mean values were significantly higher in men than those in women for all measurements (P<0.001). All the measurements showed a statistically significant correlation with stature (P<0.01). The combination of the right hand length and the right foot length was the best predictor of stature because it had the lowest standard error of estimate. The use of multiple regression equations yielded better results than did the use of linear regression equations. The accuracy of stature prediction ranged from ±4.81 to ±6.39 cm. The present study was of great importance with regards to improving the physical anthropology database of ethnic groups in China.stature, forensic anthropology, anthropometry, foot length, foot width, Han Chinese Citation:
