The stature is a part identification that can be assessed by the length of foot of the body.

To assess the Relationship between Foot length and stature in natives of Ajmer region.

To yield the linear regression equation to estimate the stature in relation to foot length for males and females

A study was done among five hundred six (509) healthy subjects (266 Males and 243 Females) aged between 17–50 years natives of Ajmer region.

From 1st Oct. 2016 to 30th September 2017.

The t-test was used to assess the differences. p value <0.05 was considered significant.

In the present study, Foot length shows a positive correlation with stature which is indicated by the correlation coefficient (r = 0.94 for male and r= 0.93 for female) Estimated stature of Males from Foot length

YFm = 75.807+ 3.39 x XFm

2. Estimated stature of Females from Foot length

YFf = 64.585+ 3.58 x XFf

3. Estimated stature of Males and Females (Combined) from Foot length

YF = 56.5 + 4.04 x XF

Suture can be estimated by foot length in natives of Ajmer
