“…The present finding is in contrast with Abledu et al(2015), Krauss et al(2008), Wunderlich et al(2001), Krishan and Sharma (2007), Krishan et al(2012), Fessler et al(2005), Kanchan et al(2008), Agnihotri et al(2007aAgnihotri et al( , 2007b where all the footprint dimensions were significantly greater in boys than girls. However, this study is in consistent with Hernandez et al 2006 where SPAI showed no significant difference in terms of gender.…”

The present study envisages the morphological differences in anthropometric measurements on footprints among the preschool children and analyzes its manifestation in the different weight category. This study also focuses on the diagnosis of flatfoot among the studied population. Data has been collected from 160 participants (80 boys and 80 girls) from Bengali Hindu caste population aged 3 to 6 years. Anthropometric measurements included height, weight and body mass index. Other measurements on foot morphology included foot length, foot breadth diagonal, foot breadth horizontal, ball of the foot length, outside ball of the boot length, heel breadth, and toe lengths T1, T2, T3.T4, T5. Staheli's Plantar Arch Index, Chippaux-Smirak Index and foot angle were calculated. Various statistical tests like t-test, Pearson's correlation and ANOVA were performed. Among all the variables, foot breadth horizontal showed statistically significant difference between boys and girls (p<0.05). All the footprint dimensions showed a significant (p<0.05) positive correlation with height and weight in both the boys and the girls. However, the Staheli's Plantar Arch Index showed a significant (p<0.05) negative correlation with height and weight and Chippaux-Smirak Index showed a significant (p<0.05) negative correlation with height only among both the boys and the girls. Significant differences (ANOVA) were found between the foot morphology of children in three different weight categories (underweight, healthy and overweight) except the foot angle, and both indices. The present study evinces that weight affects the foot structure of the children. The prevalence of flatfoot was found to be 57.5% among the children with no significant difference (p<0.05) between the boys and the girls. The results thus provide a podium for intricate studies in the future. Timely prognosis of flatfoot in children can instigate early rectification of flat-footedness.

“…Therefore stature can be reliably estimated in Hausa neonates using Foot Length because it correlated significantly with stature (0.75, p < 0.01). Kanchan et al, (2008) had similar conclusions also to the present study. Sen and Ghosch (2008) conducted a study on estimation of stature from foot length and foot breadth among the Rajbanshi: An indigenous population of North Bengal.…”

“…The results are in concordance with the study conducted by Zeybek., et al (2008) and Kanchan., et al (2008a). This may indicated that foot length is anatomically involved in the stature of a person (Krishan and Sharma 2007) [3,5,8]. The deviation point of the sex estimation for foot length was 241.50 mm while foot width was 93.81 mm.…”

“…The chromosome Y also associated closely with stature. Male are taller with increased length of the heterochromatic band Yq12 in the chromosome Y (Kanchan., et al 2008a) [8]. In addition male who have larger body size will have larger foot size in helping them to stand firmly (McGinnis 2005) [16].…”

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.
