Abstract :
Background : An examination of relationship between estimation of forearm length from different parameters. Estimation of stature has a
signicant importance in the eld of forensic medicine and anthropometry. Anthropometry is a series of systematized measuring techniques that
express quantitatively the dimensions of human body and skeleton. The purpose of this study was to estimate of forearm length from different
parameters . Materials and Methods: The data was collected by taking measurements of 500 students between age group of 18 to 23. Length of
forearm was measured as the distance between head of radius and styloid process of radius of the same side with the subject in anatomical position.
Both the lengths of right and left forearms were measured. First segment of anthropometer rod was used. Results : Ratio of arm–length to height is
signicantly higher in males of age 18, 19 and 21 than that of females of the same age group. In age groups (20 and 22) the difference between ratios
is not signicant statistically. In males and females both, the correlation coefcient ‘r‘ is statistically signicant for majority of age groups. (p <
0.01). This indicates that there exists positive correlation between two variables, i.e. forearm length and height and length can be estimated from
height and arm–length. Conclusion : Regression equations derived for height of individuals can be applied to calculate height and then body
surface area in patients of burns. Correlation between various parameters can help in medico legal cases for identication of body parts as well as
for identication in war casualties. This study can help to provide database for biometrics.
