Abstract

Anthropologists and forensic medicine personnel estimate height of an individual as one of criteria to establish identity of an individual. It is also useful for physical assessment of status of nutrition in an individual by nutritionists and physicians. Stature prediction from incomplete and decomposing skeletal remains is one of most useful criteria in establishing the identity of an unknown individual. It is a useful tool in medico legal and forensic examination. Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Place of Study: Department of Anatomy, MGM medical college, Aurangabad, India. Material: 185 young and healthy college students aged between 18 to 24 years, without any disease or deformity were examined anthropometrically in respect to their height and foot dimensions. Method: Measurement of height and foot dimensions of right and left side was taken with a standard anthropometer and a Vernier caliper respectively. Result: The present study showed significant (p<0.001) positive correlation between the stature and feet dimensions with sexual dimorphism.
