Aim: Stature estimation among native adult population of Dakshina Kannada district by percutaneous measurement of upper arm length Objectives of the study: 1. To find out the correlation between stature and upper arm length 2. To derive a statistical model to estimate stature for native adult population of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka. Materials and method: Upper arm length and stature of 200 adult subjects comprising of 100 males and 100 females in the age group of 19-39 years were measured separately on left and right side of each individual with sliding calipers and stadiometer respectively. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software to obtain the results. Results: The statistical analysis indicated that the correlations between the upper arm length and the stature in both males and females were statistically significant (p<0.001). Linear regression equations for stature estimation were formulated separately for left and right sides in both sexes. Conclusions: Upper arm length and stature are positively correlated with each other. Linear regressions equations derived from upper arm length can be reliably used for the estimation of the stature in the native adult population of Dakshina Kannada district and neighbouring regions. From this study, left upper arm length is the best parameter for estimation of stature in both males and females. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
