Описание
Estimation of height from the measurement of various body parts is of particular interest to many anthropologists, anatomist and forensic scientist for its importance in medico-legal cases.Various workers estimated height from the measurement of foot length, head length and hand length individually or in various combinations.So far no definite attempt has been done to estimate the height of an individual from the measurement of hand length, head length and foot length altogether and also no information is available regarding the correlation in between these parameters. Therefore, the present study is designed to measure the height, foot length, hand length and head length and to study the correlation of these parameters with height and with each other. The study has its importance in personal identification in medicolegal cases and war casualties.
