Estimation of Stature from the Hand Length in Population of Rajasthan
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Physical anthropology involves measurement of various physical parameters referred to as anthropometric parameters. Estimation of height from the skeletal remains like amputated limbs has obvious significance in medicolegal cases. Height (stature) and hand length are such anthropometric parameters which are helpful in process of identification. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on Medical students in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Study was carried on 300 students (150 males and 150 females) age group of 18-25 years. The hand length and total height was measured. Conclusion: The study suggested that estimation of a living height could be made possible by using hand length. The regression formula has been calculated separately for males and females.
