Stature estimation from foot anthropometric measurements in Bangladeshi population

Background Estimating human stature is a major concern to formulate a biological profile which provides effective data for forensic identification. This research was aimed to generate a formula for estimating stature from human foot anthropometry. Methods This study was conducted in selected 150 male and 150 female subjects within the range of 18 to 60 years randomly. From each subject, stature and seven-foot measurements were taken by applying the standard technique. Stature was estimated from foot measurements by using linear and multiple regression equations. Results The result showed that each foot measurement was significantly (p Conclusion In conclusion, it can be said that human stature can be successfully estimated by using foot measurements which can be applied in forensic investigation.
