“…In our study we have found that the mean PCTL of right side in male is 37.82 and in female is 34.84 whereas the mean PCTL of left side in male is 37.79 and in female is 34.79 and we have found that male has more PCTL length as comparison to female. Similar result was found by Kaore et al [12] and Trivedi et al [14] Our study also correlates with the study conducted by Saini et. al [15] in which the PCTL of male was found to be 40.90 cm and that of the female was 38.09 cm.…”

Background: "Anthropometry" includes the different techniques which express the human body and its parts in quantitative manner. Hence, this technique is considered as one of the useful and most applicable, non-invasive and also inexpensive technique worldwide. For the establishment of size of the body and also in sexual dimorphism this technique has been used by the anthropologist for many years. Aim: this study is undertaken to show sexual dimorphism in percutaneous tibial length in Indian race. Methods: The study was carried out on 200 subjects (100 male and 100 female) among the population of India. Percutaneous tibial length was measured with the help of spreading caliper. The data was collected and analyzed statistically. Results: Our study shows no significant difference between the Right and left PCTL in male and female among Indian races. Mean right PCT: Male -37.82±1.99, Female -34.84±1.91, Mean left PCT: Male -37.79±1.98, Female -34.79±1.89. The percutaneous tibial length was significantly high in males as compared to females. Conclusion: The present study reveals that there is no statistical significance difference occurs between the right and left percutaneous tibial length among male and female. It also shows that the percutaneous tibial length of male is significantly higher than female in the Indian race.

“…The correlation coefficient (R) between height and tibial length in females were also 0.259 and 0.258 for the right and left tibial lengths respectively. This finding is supported by a study conducted on 540 students (270 males and 270 females) in the age group 18 to 21 years in Madhya Pradesh (Trivedi et al 2014). In this study, it was also reported that the correlation coefficients (R) between the height and tibial lengths in males were 0.417 and 0.442 for the right and left tibial lengths respectively and in females were 0.570 and 0.604 for right and left tibial lengths respectively.…”

Introduction: Estimation of body height from measurement of various body parts is a particular interest to forensic scientists to complete biological profile after death. However, establishing the identity of an individual from mutilated, decomposed, and amputated body fragments has become a challenging task in medico-legal cases. Objective of the study: To estimate body height from percutaneous length of the tibia in Debre Markos University (DMU) students. Materials and methods: Institution-based cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in undergraduate students of DMU. The sample size was 572, and data were collected from April 2018 to December 2018. Height and percutaneous tibial length were measured in both sexes. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 25. Level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The mean age of study participants was 21.27 ± 1.74 years for males and 20.41 ± 1.58 years for females. The mean height of study participants was also 168.36 ± 5.89 cm for males and 165.24 ± 4.01 cm for females. The tibial length was strongly correlated with body height in the males than the females: right tibial length (males R = 0.634, females R = 0.259) and left tibial length (males R = 0.632, females R = 0.258). Independent t test exhibited statistically significant gender differences (P < 0.05) with the males having consistently higher values than the females. Paired t test revealed the existence of bilateral asymmetry between the right and left tibial lengths (P < 0.05). The relatively highest correlation was depicted in the right tibial length in both males and females. Conclusion: The mean value of height and tibial length was greater in males than that of females, and these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Tibial length was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with height in both sexes. Therefore, tibial length can predict body height in both sexes.

“…34 Measurements of the tibia and fibula may offer alternatives that are worth investigating in the critical care setting. 30,31,35 Limitations of the study All efforts were made to limit inaccuracy and inconsistency in the anthropometric measurements in the study, by ensuring that the data collectors were well trained and practised in the anthropometric techniques, and by using validated, standardised techniques and high-quality, calibrated equipment. Slight diurnal variation between patients who remained in bed, and those who walked around after waking, may however, have been a source of bias.…”

Objective: To assess the agreement between measured height, and height predicted from ulna length using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) equations, in adult patients admitted to government hospitals in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional survey. Setting: Medical, surgical, pulmonary, orthopaedic, cardiovascular and general wards at Pelonomi, Universitas and National Hospitals in Bloemfontein. Subjects: All patients between 19 and 60 years, admitted during a two-week period in March 2015, who gave written informed consent, and were able to stand upright and unassisted, were included. Outcome measures: Standing height (via stadiometer; referred to as reference height), weight and ulna length were measured. Predicted height and body mass index (BMI) were calculated from ulna length using MUST equations, and compared with reference height and BMI by 95% confidence intervals (CI) and Bland-Altman analysis.
