Determination of Personal Height from Foot Dimensions

This study was carried out to estimate the relationship between foot dimensions and stature using simple linear regression analysis based on a sample of male and female of Kolhapur district. Measurements of the foot length, foot breadth and stature were taken from 1200 subjects (600 male, 600 female). Obtained data was analysed and attempt was made to find out correlation between the foot dimensions and stature of an individual. A good correlation of height was observed with foot dimensions and it was statistically significant. The results of the present study would be useful for anthropologists and forensic medicine experts.
