BACKGROUND Estimation of human stature is one of the important aspects of any forensic investigation. Anatomists, forensic experts and anthropologists all over the world have studied dimensions of various parts of body and correlated them with stature. India is studded with many places of pilgrimage, and other religious places where people tend to walk bare footed for religious reasons. Various studies have been conducted in Indian population on the same subject in past. The principal goal of these studies was to create a database and to derive coefficient and linear regression coefficient for stature and hand and foot dimensions. The present study aims to systematically review all the observations achieved from previous studies done in India. METHODS A detailed online search of articles was made on various databases like MedLine, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Embase etc. from 2000 to present and 23 studies were found. Amongst these 23 studies, 15 studies were shortlisted based on their similarity as per study design, sample size, variables studied taking authors own study as reference study. RESULTS All the 23 shortlisted studies were reviewed, and observations were tabulated, statistically analysed and graphically represented. CONCLUSIONS Significant positive correlation was observed between human stature and hand and foot dimensions. Foot length was stated as a better predictor of stature compared to other dimensions. Human stature of north Indian population is higher than south Indian population. Hand and foot dimensions are higher in north Indian males than south Indian males.

“…Height: Standing height will be measured to the nearest centimeters (cm) using a stadiometer with the subject standing erect on a horizontal resting plane bare footed having the palms of the hands turned inward and the fingers pointing downwards. The height will be measured from the sole of the feet to the vertex of the head as recommended by International Biological Program [23].…”

Maintenance of accurate postural balance is imperative to avoid falls and incapacities especially in overweight and older population. Normal postural balance is affected by various factors like age, gender, body characteristics like lean muscle mass, soft tissue mass, stature, foot anthropometry, etc. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1000 young population of north Karnataka in which human stature, weight, body mass index, foot anthropometric parameters, etc. along with postural sway were measured. The correlation of these parameters with human stature, weight and postural sway was studied. Data obtained were tabulated, graphically represented and statistically analyzed. Correlation coefficient was formulated for each variable. Foot length and width showed positive significant correlation with height, weight and other variables. Study observations were compared with those obtained from previous studies. The study observations will enable us to understand the influence of foot anthropometry on postural balance and help researchers to formulate weight transfer strategies, thereby facilitating management and rehabilitation of patients with postural instability.

“…With increasing frequency of mass disasters, it is essential to find out correlations between stature, age, and sex of an individual with variable information collected from different systems, organs or its parts which is of immense importance. 5 Stature plays a key role in establishing the identity from unknown, decomposed and fragmented remains in medico legal cases. 6 Human stature is an anatomical complex of linear dimensions,including skull,vertebral column,pelvis and lower extremities,so that it is assumed that significant association exist between the total stature and these individual body parts.…”

Background and Objectives:The aim of present study is to find the correlation of foot morphometry with stature and to derive the regression equation for stature estimation among two endogamous (baniya and jats) groups of North India. Material and Method:The present study was carried out at Department of Anatomy, MMIMSR Mullana-Ambala, on 400 subjects(100 males,100 females of each group) belonging to known endogamous group (baniya and jats) of Haryana, age group ranged between 21-35 years. Height and foot length,foot breadth was measured. Foot index was calculated. Statistical analysis including mean, standard deviation for stature and foot morphometry of both sides were calculated separately for both sexes. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to find correlation between stature and different foot morphometry .To estimate stature from foot morphometry linear regression analysis was done. Results:The mean and standard deviation for height in males was 173.68 ± 7.336 and in females was 160.73 ± 10.049 with highly significant p value. The mean foot length,foot breadth of males was higher than females with statistically significant p value. In males, the foot length and foot breadth of both sides have a highly significant correlation with height. In females the correlation of height was highly significant with foot length, foot breadth and foot index among both the groups. Conclusion:A significant correlation coefficient was observed between height and foot length in males. In females, a significant correlation was observed between height and foot length and foot breadth. If either of the measurement is known(height or foot length/foot breadth), the other can be calculated. This would be useful for Anthropologists and Forensic medicine experts.
