Abstract

Aims and objective: In this study an attempt is made to find out the correlation between foot length and total body height in Maharashtra region and to derive a regression formula for estimation of total body height from foot length. Materials and methods: The study is done on 212 medical and paramedical students from Maharashtra region. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 and 25 years. The length of the foot is measured between the back of the heel andthe tip of great toe or second toe whichever is longer using spreading calipers. Results: The results obtained were statistically analyzed and attempt was made to derive alinear regression formula between foot length and total height of an individual. The results of this study show a definite correlation between foot length and height of an individual. The data from the present work may be useful for anatomists, anthropologists, and forensic expertsduring forensic identification.

Key words: Foot length, Total height, Correlation, Regression formula, Forensic experts.
