“…Mean lower facial height/mandibular height and mandibular width (bigonial diameter) recorded higher numerical values in the male participants than in the female participants. These measurements were not significantly different from the values of Northwest Indians (10.64 cm for males, 10.26 cm for females) [30]. However, these findings were significantly higher than those reported in other previous studies.…”

Facial indices are among the most important cephalometric parameters useful in inter-racial and intra-racial morphological classification and categorization. As such, facial parameters serve as prominent identification tools in combination with fingerprint patterns for biometric and forensic purposes in the developed world. However in Ghana, although emphasis is placed on the face in the photographic recognition systems used in the issuance of passports, very little information is available on metric facial data, facial types and their distribution patterns and their association with ethnicity, sex and age. Therefore the aim of this study is to generate baseline data on facial dimensions and their relationship with height, age and sex of the Sisaalas and Dagaabas of the Upper West Region of Ghana. A total of 387 healthy individuals (202 females and 185 males), between 18 -60 years of age were recruited for the study. The results of the study showed that male facial parameters had significantly higher dimensions than those of the female participants.

“…studies on estimation of stature from foot, footprint and foot outline compared the two methods of stature estimation and observed that the reliability of stature estimation from regression analysis method was more than that of multiplication method. Sahni et al 19 in their study on stature estimation also observed that the stature estimation was more reliable and accurate with regression analysis method than that of multiplication factor method. However, none of these studies prove this with evidence or show the extent of variability that exists in the estimated stature with these two methods.…”

The Han Chinese people are the main ethnic group in China and the largest ethnic group in the world. The dimensions of the hands and feet have been successfully used for the estimation of stature. A total of 26,927 healthy adult subjects, comprising 13,221 men and 13,706 women, were recruited. The survey samples were chosen through random cluster sampling. The mean values were significantly higher in men than those in women for all measurements (P<0.001). All the measurements showed a statistically significant correlation with stature (P<0.01). The combination of the right hand length and the right foot length was the best predictor of stature because it had the lowest standard error of estimate. The use of multiple regression equations yielded better results than did the use of linear regression equations. The accuracy of stature prediction ranged from ±4.81 to ±6.39 cm. The present study was of great importance with regards to improving the physical anthropology database of ethnic groups in China.stature, forensic anthropology, anthropometry, foot length, foot width, Han Chinese Citation:
