STATURE ESTIMATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL USING ARM SPAN MEASUREMENT IN JALGAON REGION OF NORTH MAHARASHTRA
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Height is one of the important parameter for identification of the individual. The study was undertaken to estimate height of individual from arm span by regression equation and to compare it with measured height. The study was carried out on 50 adult males and 50 adult females from Jalgaon, Maharashtra over a period of three months from February to April 2018. The population was randomly selected for this study. In present study, correlation coefficient between height and arm span in males is 0.73 while in females it is 0.69.The Regression equation derived from arm span in male is Height = 47.26 + (0.72 X arm span) and in females Height =57.32 + (0.64X arm span). The derived equations were tested and difference between measured and estimated height was found non-significant.
