Overview

Cross-sectional study shows strong correlation between femur length and stature in adult males, indicating forensic applications.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the relationship between long bone lengths and stature in adult North Indian males.
  • Cross-sectional study of 250 healthy males aged 18-40 years in North India
  • Measurements of stature, femur and tibia lengths from both limbs using anthropometric techniques
  • Association determined via Pearson’s correlation, with bilateral asymmetry assessed using paired t-tests
  • Regression equations formulated through simple and multiple regression analysis
  • All long-bone measures showed significant positive correlation with stature (p < 0.001)
  • Right femur exhibited the strongest correlation (r = 0.924) with height
  • Significant bilateral asymmetry discovered in femur and tibia lengths (p < 0.001)
  • Multiple regression analysis indicated strong predictive power (R² = 0.855, p < 0.001)
