Estimation of Height From Footlength : A Scientific Study in the Urban Population of Uttar Pradesh
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
The present study was done on 150 medical students between the age group of 21 to 30 yrs to find out the correlation of footlength to height and to find whether there were any sexual differences in the urban population of Uttar Pradesh. Anthropometric measurements were taken by standard methods and the data was analysed by SPSS software. A good correlation was found between footlength and height in all individuals which was statistically significant . The regression formula was found to be different in both male and female indicating sexual differences . This knowledge can be practically applied to estimate not only the stature of an individual in the living for evaluation of growth but can also be used to determine the height and sex of the individual when partial body parts are found
