Study for Estimation of Stature from Foot Length in Medico Legal Autopsies based

Abstract— The present study are conducted on 100 dead bodies of (males and females) aged between20 and 60 years. The correlation coefficient calculated in males for the stature and right foot length (0.779) and left foot length (0.778); and the right foot length (0.653) and left foot length (0.638) in females were significant at 0.01 level. Males had significantly higher mean values for both stature and foot length compared to females. Regression equations were derived from right and left foot length for estimating stature in males and females. Stature (Y) could be calculated from the right foot length (X1) in males with the equation Y= 53.050 + 4.802 X1. For the left foot length (X2) in males, the equation was Y = 53.618 + 4.7762 X2. In females, the equations were Y = 78.538 + 3.597 X1 & Y = 78.724 + 3.601 X2 respectively.
