Abstract

 Background: The estimation of stature from forearm length holds a special place in the field of Forensic Anthrpometry. Aim: The aim of present study was to find out a regression equation that could calculate the height of a person precisely from forearm length. In this study the height and forearm length of 200 Ist M.B.B.S. students of Rajarshee Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Government Medical College, Kolhapur was measured. The data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis, to derive regression equation. The correlation coefficient was found 0.8146 for forearm length with stature in males and that of in females was 0.6985. Regression coefficient was 3.84 in males for forearm length and stature and 3.09 in females for forearm length and stature. The observed data was subjected to’t’ test for correlation coefficient. The value of ‘t’ was found to be statistically significant. The regression equations for estimation of statures were formulated using length of forearm. Conclusion: A good correlation of stature with forearm length was observed and it was statistically highly significant.
