<p><strong><em>Introduction</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>Estimation of body height is one of the important parameter in the anthropology forensic, which the body height became the first action in identification. The regression formula using the tibia length, sex, and age might have valid approximation for body height which helpful in clinical context.</em><em> </em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Methods</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>The analytic descriptive researchwith the cross-sectional design was done on 112 subject consist of male and female satisfy inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sample was selected by total sampling technique.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Result</em></strong><strong><em>s: </em></strong><em>Tibia length resulting correlation ranging between 0,488 and 0,968 (p<0,001). The</em><em> </em><em>linear regression formula showed Standard Error of the Estimate (SEE) ranging between 0,810 and 3,495 (p<0,001).</em><strong><em> </em></strong><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Conclusion: </em></strong><em>A significant correlation between tibia length and body heightwas found with a strong correlation. Hence, a linear regression formula was derived for the estimation of body height from tibia length</em>.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: tibia length; body height; regression formula; anthropometry</p>
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.
