A Correlation Analysis for Estimation of Height from Head Breadth and Vertex Height
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Stature can be expressed as stable proportional relationship with other body part measurements of the human body like head, face, trunk and extremities etc. Study was conducted to estimate a correlation between Height against Head Breadth (HB) and Vertex Height (VH). Among all 200 students mean height for males was 172±0.54 cm (Mean±SEM), for females was 157±0.49 cm. The mean head breadth for males was 13.7±0.08 cm, for females was 12.7±0.07 cm. The mean Vertex height was 35.8±0.13 cm for males while it was 35.2±0.13 cm in females. In present study for HB, correlation coefficient of 0.183 with a standard error of estimate of 5.299 in males, while for females revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.338 with a standard error of estimate 4.65. The correlation coefficient of 0.13 with a standard error of estimate of 5.344 in males for VH, while for females it was -0.007 with a standard error of estimate 4.94. Linear regression equations for height from Head breadth for ‘Male Stature = 153.66 + 1.31 (HB)’ and ‘Female Stature = 128.64 + 2.27 (HB)’. Regression equations calculated for the height from Vertex height of head for ‘Male Stature = 152.69 + 0.53(VH)’ and for ‘Female Stature = 158.36-0.03(VH)’
