AbstractThe study was done to find sexual dimorphism in foot length and to correlate foot length with height and weight. The present study was done on 150 medical college students, 68 males and 42 females of 19-23 year of age. Foot length was determined from foot sketches taken in anatomical position. Height and weight was measured with standard height and weight measuring instrument. It was found that male foot length was proportionately larger than female foot length for given height. There was statistically significant correlation between height and foot length in males and females. Results of present study are helpful for estimation of stature from lower extremity parts and establishing personal identity in forensic sciences.
