“…Males showed better precision than females. This is in line with the previous findings in Nigerian [14], Turkish [28,29] and Indian [30,31] populations. Therefore, higher predictive ability was observed in males than females in the Hausa ethnic group.…”

A cross sectional study was conducted among 500 secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 26 years. Anthropometric measurements were obtained using standard protocols.The results showed significant sexual dimorphism in all the parameters, except for body mass index. In all the body length anthropometric parameters considered in this study, males had significantly (p < 0.05) higher mean values, except in biaxillary distances. Height showed positive and strong correlations with demispan length with good correlation of determination, indicating a stronger estimation ability than other parameters. A combination of two parameters tends to give better estimations, as explained by the adjusted R 2 ; and, therefore, combining the three parameters gives better estimation accuracy.In conclusion, Hausa males tend to have larger body proportions compared to females. Height showed strong positive correlation with demispan length. Body length an- AbstractThe relationships between dimensions of the parts of the human body and the whole body have drawn the attention of anatomists, anthropologists and scientists for many years. The purpose of this study was to investigate sexual dimorphism in some body lengths and other anthropometric parameters. It also aimed to generate formulae for height estimation using anthropometric measurements of some length parameters among the Hausa ethnic group of * Corresponding

“…In this study, correlation coefficient values in both right and left footprints (0.899 and 0.897) and foot outlines (0.891 and 0.888) in urban population of Chhattisgarh, Central India, are very similar to the values (0.80-0.85) obtained by Robbins [41] on 550 individuals. Similar observations were also obtained by Ozden et al [42] on a Turkish male population and by Singh and Phookan [43] on four different ethnic groups of India where they showed that in the stature estimation, foot length gives better results than foot In the present study, both linear regression equations and scatter graphs elucidated the statistically significant correlation between footprint/foot outline lengths and stature of urban population of Central India. This correlation between footprint/foot outline length and stature could be helpful to the investigating officer to effectively link the crime scene and the perpetrator forensically.…”

Introduction: Personal identification is preliminary concern of medico-legal and forensic investigation. There are various methods including Anthropometry, Fingerprints, foot imprint, bite mark, lip print, ear print by the help of which personal identification can be performed. In India, the bare foot imprints are frequently recovered at the crime scene and stature of a person can be estimated using foot imprint method, so analysis of bare foot imprints are often a necessity for forensic investigation. Materials and Methods: In this study, we made an attempt to reconstruct the stature using foot imprints (footprint and foot outline) method. The 200 samples of male and female age ranges from 18 to 30 years were collected from urban area of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. Footprint and outline methods were employed in this study, to correlate the size (length) of foot-imprints with the stature (height) A Ad dd dr re es ss s f fo or r c co or rr re es sp po on nd de en nc ce e: :

“…11 For better accuracy, stature estimation may be attempted only after the attainment of maturity. 12 Accurate estimation from known parameters is a fundamental aspect of science and is evident as emerging approach in the area of footprints and stature estimation; because foot length displays a biological correlation with stature that suggests the latter might be estimated from foot or shoe prints.…”

Background: To find out the correlation between foot length and height of an individual and to derive regression formulae to estimate the height from foot length of an individual.Methods: This was a prospective comparative study. A total of 640 bilateral footprints collected from 320 adult volunteers of ages ranging between 25 and 50 years old. Foot Prints, foot length, Stature and height were recorded as per standard methods.Results: The mean age (year) was 38.43±7.63, Stature (cm) mean of male and female was 162.75±6.03, Left Foot Breadth (cm) was 8.90±0.92, Right Foot Breadth (cm) was 8.88±0.82, Left Foot length (cm) was 23.70±2.41 and Right Foot length (cm) was 23.68±2.41. The stature-mean ranges from 20.21±1.25 to 23.70±2.1 cm. First toe-heel footprint length measurement (PLT1, PRT1) was found to be the longest in both right and left sides (23.70±2.1; 23.68±1.32) and Fifth toe-heel footprint length measurement (PLT5, PRT5) was found to be the shortest in both right and left sides (20.60±1.3; 20.21±1.25). For males, the highest correlation coefficient was noted for PLT5 (0.524) and the lowest correlation coefficient noted was for PLT1 (0.581) and for females the highest correlation coefficient was noted for PLT5 (0.585) and the lowest correlation coefficient noted was for PLT1 (0.611). Hence, statistically significant correlation coefficients exist between stature and all footprint length measurements. With regard to the coefficient of determination (R2), the predictive accuracy is found to be statistically significant for stature estimation.Conclusions: Foot length in males and females shows highest correlation with stature and minimum standard error in the estimation of stature. So, the foot length provided the highest reliability and accuracy in estimating stature. The left foot length gives better prediction of stature than the right foot. The prediction of height is better in case of females in comparison to males.
