Abstract

Ulnar length and body height have a direct relation with each other, although the exact calculation of this relation could not be determined with precision. This relation between ulnar length and body height has been questioned and studied by scientific researchers and medical professionals all over the world, and the results of one such study done in PGIMS Rohtak may not only help us to predict one from the other but also whether the relationship between the two is significant or not.
