Abstract Background and aims : Stature is the height of a person in the upright posture. There are lot of variations in estimating stature from limb measurements among people of different region and race. Hence there is a need to carryout more studies on population of different regions so that method of stature estimation becomes more reliable. The aim of study was to fmd out the correlation between foot length and height of an individual and to derive regression formulae to estimate the height from the foot length in the study population. Materials and methods : This study was conducted among 308 healthy students aged between 18-20 years. Foot length and height was measured. The measurements were made by using standard anthropometric instruments to the nearest millimeter. The data obtained was analysed statistically and attempt was made to findout correlation and to derive a regression formula between foot length and height of an individual. Results: The values of all the parameters in case of male were higher than females. The sex differences in these parameters showed statistical significance. A strong positive correlation between height and foot length of individuals was found Conclusion: Foot length is a useful parameter in stature estimation. Our findings suggest that the relationship between stature and foot length is of practical use for anatomical, medico legal, anthropological, archaeological and other related studies.

Introduction: Estimation of stature plays an important role in forensic anthropometry as it helps in estimating the identity of an individual. Many studies for estimating the stature from measuring long bones, with derivation of formulas are there. The present study is an attempt to evaluate a possible correlation between stature of an individual and foot length in adults. Material and Methods: A sample of 100 medical students; 50 males and 50 females studying in Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences was considered and measurements were taken for height and foot length. Result: It was found that both the parameters showed a correlation with each other. Mathematical formulae for estimating stature were developed through basic linear regression. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the present study has provided regression equations for stature and foot length of an individual that can be used for stature estimation.
