Estimation of stature using hand and foot dimensions in Slovak adults

Standing Height and its Estimation Utilizing Foot Length Measurements in Adolescents from Western Region in Kosovo

“…In parallel, it is important to emphasize that the individual and ethnic variations referring to standing height and its association with foot length might vary from ethnic group to ethnic group as well as race to race, because the racial and ethnic differences are affective on these measures and reduce the possibility of generalizing (cited in Bjelica et al, 2012). This fact confirms the study conducted by Chinese authors (Cheng et al, 1998) who confirmed a very high linear correlation between standing height and foot length in both genders, as well as in another study which confirmed that foot length can explain up to 77% variations in standing height (cited in Uhrova et al, 2015), while the research study conducted by Uhrova and her collaborators (Uhrova et al, 2015) shows significant correlation between standing height and all measure anthropometric parame-ters in both genders of Slovak population. The highest correlation coefficient in this population was found for foot length in males (r=0.71) as well as in females (r=0.63).…”

“…However, it is important to underline that the arm span has been obtained as the most reliable body indicator for predicting the standing height of an individual (Mohanty et al, 2001;Ter Goon et al, 2011), while foot length is was very close (Kanchan et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2012;Uhrova et al, 2015). In parallel, it is important to emphasize that the individual and ethnic variations referring to standing height and its association with foot length might vary from ethnic group to ethnic group as well as race to race, because the racial and ethnic differences are affective on these measures and reduce the possibility of generalizing (cited in Bjelica et al, 2012).…”

Relationship between Foot Length Measurements and Body Height: A Prospective Regional Study among Adolescents in Eastern Region of Kosovo

“…In parallel, it is important to emphasize that the individual and ethnic variations referring to standing height and its association with foot length might vary from ethnic group to ethnic group as well as race to race, because the racial and ethnic diff erences are aff ective on these measures and reduce the possibility of generalizing (Bjelica et al, 2012). Th is fact confi rms the study conducted by Chinese authors (Cheng et al, 1998) who confi rmed a very high linear correlation between standing height and foot length in both genders, as well as in another study which confi rmed that foot length can explain up to 77% variations in standing height (Uhrova et al, 2015), while the research study conducted by Uhrova and her collaborators (2015) shows signifi cant correlation between standing height and all measure anthropometric parameters in both genders of Slovak population.

Stature Estimation Using Hand and Handprint Dimensions Among Malaysian Population

“…A research of stature estimation from hands and feet dimensions was done in North Indian population and it is indicated that there was a positive and statistically significant correlation between stature and all measurements [10]. This is supported by Uhrova et al [11] where their result also proved that the hand and foot dimension can be used to estimate stature for Slovak population. Other than that, in Malaysian population, there are also a few studies of stature estimation using various part of body such as foot and lower limb dimensions [12], [13].…”
