Stature and digit lengths were measured following standard procedures, followed by statistical analysis using SPSS (Version 20 Chicago Inc). Results showed an average stature of 176.36 ± 8.13cm, 164.38 ± 6.62cm and 169.59 ± 8.79cm for males, females and a pooled sample, respectively. Sexual dimorphism was observed to be statistically significant (p < 0.01) across all the measured parameters, with greater values consistently recorded in males. Pearson correlation (r) had a range of 0.40 to 0.63. The weakest r-value is seen in males and the strongest in females. Simple and multilinear regression equations derived showed different values of coefficient of determination (R 2) and standard error of estimate (SEE) at an accurate estimation rate of >99%. Digits correlation with stature found in this study may be of great relevance in human identification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
