Abstract

Background and Objective: Identification of sex, age, race and stature is the most important aspect of investigations in cases of mass disasters. Hand and foot dimensionshas a strong correlation with stature andand if either of the measurements is known, the other can be calculated. With this objective, the present study was proposed to correlate the foot dimensions with stature of an individual. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 1000 participants (500 male and 500 female) of ESIC Institute Gulbarga over a period of 14 months. Foot length, foot breadth along with stature was measured. Results: Mean stature was 161.88. Mean Foot length on Right side was 24.34 cm and Mean Foot length on left side was 24.32 cm. Mean Foot Breadth on Right side was 8.95 cm and Mean Foot Breadth on left side was 8.96 cm. Linear Regression coefficient was calculated. Interpretation and Conclusions: Highly significant difference in right and left side mean foot length and breadth measurements was observed. Also observed was a strong positive statistically significant correlation between height and foot dimensions. This data could be useful for forensic, epidemiological and anthropometric studies where stature determination is of utmost importance.
