Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Anthropometry refers to the study of measurement of human individual. It’s an ancient tool which has been used for identification, for the purposes of understanding human physical variation. Human population shows variation in anthropometry depending on various factors like sex, race, region etc. Identification of an individual includes age, sex, religion and other parameters where stature is an important parameter. Measurement of height of individual has been done by means of various body parts such as long bones, foot. Calculation of height is a difficult arena in case of dismembered body parts. The doctor measures the height in all the medico legal cases e.g. Age-estimation, autopsies, general examination of road side person brought by police. Police officials have to go through the data of missing persons in order to cross reference the height provided, so as to establish identity. In this study an attempt has been done to understand the relation of height with parameters of ear, so as to be helpful in ascertaining height in case of dismembered bodies by studying the usual natural pattern.
