Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Estimation of stature plays an outstanding role in personal identification. It has a significant importance in forensic anthropometry. Objective: The present study is an attempt to evaluate a possible correlation between stature of an individual and hand length and hand breadth in tribal population of Udaipur.

All the measurements were done by using standard anthropometric instruments and standard anthropometric techniques. Results: There was a positive but low correlation between height and various hand parameters with with increase in height there is increase in the hand parameters but with less relationship for statistical analysis SPSS (Version 17) was used.
