Abstract

 Even though the forensic value of correlation coefficient between foot length and height has been studied, there is lack of studies regarding this subject. Interrelations among different body measurements may be used to estimate one from another in case of missing body parts. The present study was carried out to establish correlation between individual’s height and mean foot length. It was conducted on students of age group 14 to 24 years. Aim: To analyze the correlation between foot length and height in population of North-East Karnataka region. Methods: In the present study, 150 subjects were divided into two groups according to age and each subject was assessed. Results: Average of mean foot length in male and females

a. In Age group 14 to 18 years is 25.51 cm and 23.2 cm respectively

b. In Age group 19 to 24 years is 25.63 cm and 23.4 cm respectively Correlation coefficient between height length and foot length also shows significant association for the age group of 14 to 24 years and sex.

Keywords: Height; Foot Length; Age.
