Abstract:
Human stature is one of the biological profiles that can and should be used in the identification of humans from different parts of the human skeleton. Estimation of stature from feet dimensions may play an important role in the identification process of a human. Further, it is also possible to establish a relationship between the feet dimensions and stature of a person. This study is focused on the measurements of feet dimension in indigenous population groups found in the North-East Indian Region (Assam). Measurements of the length of the foot and body height were carried out with the help of Vernier Calipers and standard measuring tape. This paper emphasizes the study of a total the number of 200 male bodies aged between 18 to 65. Linear correlation and regression equation were used to determine the correlation between the foot and body height and using Pearson's coefficient (ρ < 0.001) for the correlation between foot length and stature.
