Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Identification of person is one of the significant aspects of Forensic investigation. Recently studies were conducted to estimate stature ; however, few studies were conducted using finger lengths from estimation of stature. The purpose of present study was to evaluate utility of finger lengths in estimation of stature and to predict the accuracy of regression models derived from such parameters. The study was carried out 200 subjects(100 males,100 females) There was significant difference (P < 0.001) between stature of male and female subjects. Similarly significant difference (P < 0.001) exists between male and female finger length. A significant correlation was observed between finger length and stature. Pearson correlation between finger length and stature was higher among males than fe males. The findings of present study indicate that finger lengths can be used successfully to predict living stature of an individual.
