Abstract :

This research work was done by anthropometric measurements of 200 cadavers among them 100 were males & 100 were females. The Aim & objective were to estimate correlation of supine length with right foot eadth and so help in identification of an individual. Identity of an individual is of paramount importance in civil as well as criminal cases. Previously multiple efforts had been done but due to significant genetic, environmental variation data of foreign countries cannot be applied in India. Establishing the supine length of a person from skeletal remains or bones is a routine practice in forensic anthropology, by which derivation of the regression equations and multiplication factors done. The right foot eadth showed significant positive correlation with spine length (especially in males). Multiplication factors were less accurate than regression equations.
