“…However there are no statistically significant bilateral differences in the measurements of foot length and foot width. The findings are in agreement with Krishan and Sharma (2007) Comparative statistics with the mean value standard error standard deviation and p-value for each measurement in sex (male and female) races (Malay and Chinese) and combination of sex and races can be seen in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 respectively. All the measurements are higher in male than female.…”

“…Identity should be determined through these body parts (Agnihotri., et al 2007) [4]. Measurements of different parts of the body will provide good approximation about the stature and sex of a person in order to help in personal identification (Krishan and Sharma 2007) [5]. Skull pelvis teeth and vertebral column are the most useful anatomical regions for identification purpose.…”

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.

“…They found the correlation coefficient to be +0.767 for males and females taken together. 4 In the present study correlation coefficient between foot length and height in males is +0.73 and in females is +0.68. Thus the present study correlates with this study.…”

“…Estimation of stature from extremities and their parts plays an important role in identifying the dead body in forensic examinations. 4 Ossification and maturation in the foot occurs earlier than the long bones and therefore, during adolescence age, height could be more accurately predicted from foot measurement as compared to that from long bones.…”

“…3 When the measurement of stretch stature is not possible, an estimated value is used. 6 Body parts are often used to estimate height, and include: [17][18][19] For the purposes of this paper, the most frequently used methods that are used for the estimation of true height will be discussed.…”
