Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Stature is the height of the person in the upright posture and a useful anthropometric parameter for identification of an individual the present study was conducted to predict better parameter in the estimation of stature assessing the foot and hand dimensions in international Bhutanese students. The study included 100 subjects (students) randomly taken of the age group of 18-30 years of both sexes and the fetched data was applied to regression analysis to compare true stature and estimated stature. The difference between true stature and estimated stature was not significant in both sexes indicating the high accuracy of prediction. This study provided novel standard data for stature and hand and foot dimensions with a high accuracy of prediction of stature from hand and foot dimensions in Bhutanese students.
