Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 35
Abstract
Stature is an important tool in the field of anthropometry and is of great scientific importance in the field of Medicine. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To predict stature of an individual from trans-tubercular breadth and to derive a regression equations for estimation of stature in males and females. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was conducted on 150 male and 150 female, in the age group of 20-40 years. Stature of the subject was measured using anthropometer rod. Trans-tubercular breadth was measured with the help of spreading calliper. RESULTS Linear regression analysis was performed and regression equations for predicting stature from trans-tuberuclar breadth were derived. Correlation coeffcient for predicting stature from trans-tubercular breadth were 0.31 and 0.27 in males and females respectively. CONCLUSION This study provides an additional tool of sttaure estimation particularly in absence of other measures.
