Abstract

Background: Estimation of stature is a key feature of personal identification. Evaluation of stature fromincomplete skeletal and decomposing human remains is particularly important in personal identification forforensic experts and anthropologists.Methods: The data was collected from 1000 asymptomatic, healthy adults (500 males and 500 females)belonging to border areas of Punjab region of age group ranged between 18-50 years.Results: The comparison of each parameter of the study shows that all parameters have higher valuesin males than in females. It is also observed that in males highest correlation is exhibited by Right footlength(r= .418) and in females it is exhibited by Left Foot Length (r= .354). The calculated linear regressionformulae show good reliability and applicability for stature estimation.Conclusion: In all parameters the foot length and hand length are better predictors of stature in both sex.Using regression formulae the height of subject can be easily determined and this will be used as researchtool in anthropological and medicolegal issues.

Abstract

Background: Human beings are unique in number of physical characteristics like shape and form ofan individual. These characteristics are influenced by a wide range of racial, ecological, psychological,geographical, gender and biological variations. Human external ear is often overlooked during anthropometricmeasurements. The structure of human ear is so much variable that even two ears are different in sameindividual and it also varies according to age, sex, race and ethnic group.Authentic anthropometric data ofear for a particular population is necessary for designing of ear products for occupational environments, tofind out the age, sex and stature of an individual in that population. This data on ear measurements can alsobe helpful in forensic and medico-legal cases for personal identification of an individual. The main objectiveof the study is to find any relationship between ear parameters and stature and also to formulate regressionequation for estimation of stature in Haryanvi adult Jaats.Methods: The present study was conducted on 300 healthy Haryanvi Jaats (150 females and 150 males)aged 20 to 60 years. Measurements of ear length, ear breadth and stature were taken on each subject.Conclusion: Ear length and ear breadth are not significantly correlated with stature (p>0.05) in both thesexes except ear breadth which is significantly correlated with stature in males (p<0.05).The present study concluded that stature cannot be estimated from ear length and ear breadth in Haryanvipopulation.

Abstract

Background: Facial anthropometry is a part of cephalometry that involves the measurements of face. Itis very helpful in reconstructive surgery, forensic medicine, orthodontics and to find ethnic differencesby defining various shapes of face. Facial features of every individual are different even in siblings.These features vary according to gender, racial and biological group, ecological and geographical region.Anthropometry can also be used for estimation of stature, where it cannot be measured directly such asspinal or lower limb deformity or any other neuromuscular disorder.So, the present study attempted to findthat is the facial parameters are reliable in estimation of stature in Haryanvi jaat population and also aimsformulate regression equation for estimation of stature in the same.Methods: A sample of total 300 adult Haryanvi jaatsof age group 20 to 60 years was taken for the presentstudy. Out of them 150 were females and 150 weremales. Anthropometric measurements of face and staturewere taken on each subject.Conclusion: All the studied facial parameters showed positive significant correlation with stature (p<0.01)both in males and females So, it can be concluded that facial anthropometry is a reliable tool for statureestimation in Haryanvi population.

Abstract

Background: Stature is one of the various parameters of identification of the individuality of a person. Estimation of stature from various measurements of the body is of value in medicolegal investigations as well as in anthropology. The foot measurements are important in forensic field as they can be used as body height predictors for an individual.The current study deals with developing a regression equation for stature estimation from foot breadth and foot length and to find out the correlation between stature, foot breadth and foot length. Methods: The data was collected from 500 asymptomatic, healthy adults (250 males & 250 females) belonging to border areas of Punjab region of age group ranged between 18-50 years.Results: The correlation between foot length and stature (r= 0.337) was more than foot breadth and stature (r= 0.046) indicating foot length to be a better predictor of stature. Linear regression equations were derived for estimation of stature from foot breadth and foot length.Conclusion: Both foot breadth and foot length showed positive correlation with stature as indicated by the regression coefficient. The results indicate that one can successfully estimate staure from different foot dimensions. The calculated regression formulae show good reliability and applicability of estimate which would be useful for Anthropologists and Forensic Medicine experts.
