Background: Estimation of stature is an important parameter in identification of human remains in forensic examinations. There are various studies carried out in different states and have various formulae to calculate stature from available parameters. Objective: In this present study we attempted to have a comparative analysis of regression equations to estimate stature from foot length and a unique equation for stature estimation if we have footprint as a sole parameter available at scene of crime. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place of Study: Department of Forensic Medicine at R. D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, M.P. Method: The present study was carried out to establish the regression equation and correlation co efficient between individual's height and foot length and to have a comparative analysis of regression equation. It was conducted on the Medical students of second year, 147 subjects were selected irrespective of their caste, religion, dietary habits & socio-economic status. Observation: Regression equation for estimation of stature from foot length for both sex Y= 82.934+ 3.404 x Foot length, for individual male sex Y= 138.59 + 1.35 x Foot length and for Female sex Y= 119.50 + 1.604 x Foot length. The correlation coefficient between height & foot length is + 0.688 in Male & +0.587 in female which is highly significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded that, with difference of + 3 any equation from the study can give approximate height of an individual with the help of foot length. Foot measurements have a strong relationship with stature; hence, the stature of an individual can be successfully estimated from the foot length regression model derived in the study.
