Introduction: Estimation of stature plays an important role in forensic anthropometry as it

helps in estimating the identity of an individual. Many studies for estimating the stature from

measuring long bones, with derivation of formulas are there. The present study is an attempt to

evaluate a possible correlation between stature of an individual and foot length in adults.

Material and Methods: A sample of 100 medical students; 50 males & 50 females studying in

Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences was considered & measurements were

taken for height and foot length.

Results: It was found that both the parameters showed a correlation with each other. The

linear equation derived from this relationship is y=0.1436x+0.7097.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that the present study has provided regression equations for

stature and foot length of an individual that can be used for stature estimation.
