Abstract

Stature is one of the major parameters for ascertaining the identity of an individual. Mathematical correlation of length of long bones to the overall stature has been an established method of estimation of height for unidentified individuals. In the present study 100 individuals of either sex, in the age group of 20 – 25 years were studied and their percutaneous tibial lengths were correlated with overall stature. Differences were noted in the tibial lengths of right and left sides in the same individual and also among tibial length in individuals with similar height. Regression analysis was carried out and formulae were developed for stature estimation. Comparisons were made with different regional studies and it was concluded that with varying statures in different populations, region specific studies need to be carried out for every population group.
