Abstract

  Background: Identification is the major load in every department of forensic medicine. Stature of an individual is primary data of identification. Identification of an individual from dismembered body parts will help in solving crime as well as in various mass disasters like earth quake, floods and bomb explosion. Objective: In this study an attempt is made to estimate stature from hand length. Study Design: This is cross sectional descriptive study. Material and Method: Stature and Hand length are taken from 100 randomly selected students of M. P. Shah Medical College Jamnagar, out of them 50 were male and 50 were female. They aged between 18­ 26 years. Result: Correlation coefficient and simple linear regression equations are derived to estimate stature from hand length. Hand length in both the sexes exhibit strong and statistically significant relationship.
