Abstract

Aims: The aim of the present study is to study the correlation of hand parameters with stature. Materials and Methods: Sample size of the present study consisted of 200 students (Males = 84 and Females = 116) between 17 and 24 years of age from Government Medical College. Their stature and hand parameters were recorded. Results: It was observed that males had higher mean, standard deviation and range for each of the parameter considered than those of females. Significant correlation was observed between height and the hand parameters. From the regression equations derived, one can calculate height from any known parameter and vice versa. Conclusion: Hand length and hand breadth showed statistically significant correlation with height in total cases and also when male and female cases were evaluated separately. Hand length and hand breadth also show significant positive correlation with each other. When one has to calculate height using one parameter, we recommend the use of hand length for the same as it showed highest correlation with height. This study will be useful for stature estimation from available skeleton material or parts of the deceased body that are available.
