Femur length and body length was positively and significantly with coefficient correlation ranging from 0,715 to 0,916 (p=0,000). The linier regression formula shows the Standard Error of The Estimate (SEE) ranging from 1,787 to 5,243 (p=0,000). there is a significant correlation between femur length and body length. So, the body length can be estimated by measuring femur length with linear regression equation.
