Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fingerprints are one of the most reliable tool of identification. As fingerprints never change from birth till death, therefore fingerprint evidence is by far the most effective and reliable evidence in court of law. The aim of the study is to find the incidence of patterns of left and right thumb impressions and blood groups of males and females, respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was conducted on 150 medical students including 76 males and 74 females in the age group of 18-23 years in the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab. RESULTS The distribution of loops were higher on thumbs of both sexes. In males, the frequency of loops on left thumb were found higher 48 (63.16), followed by whorls 21 (27.63%) and arches 7 (9.21%). In females, the frequency of loops on right thumb were found higher 45 (60.81), followed by whorls 23 (31.08) and arches 6 (8.11). CONCLUSION The frequency of loops were higher followed by whorls and arches on thumbs of both sexes. The blood group B was dominant followed by O, A and AB blood groups.
