Stature is natural  height of  a person in  upright position. Stature or body height is very important anthropometric parameter by which physical identity of an individual can be done when where is an unknown dead body found or dead body with destroyed face or a mummified/ putrefied body in which face is unrecognizable. Aim – Human body height is  marked from long bones humerus , radius , ulna, femur and tibia. If total body height is more, then long bone of that human body also have more length .So there is a relation between  length of human body and  length of bones. So by this relation if single bone or  extremity is found after  any  natural disaster , we can get some  identity of  an individual. Material and method– 204 individual (102 male and 102 female) were material of this study, we estimated  total body height and length of individual bone (in this study, tibia)  and relation between these two measurements was  found and we derived a formula ,regression equation formula specific for a  population found in particular area or  region . For this a regression equation derived by this study in  Jhansi (U.P. ,INDIA) can be helpful. Stastistical analysis was done. . It was observed that although standing height of  two individuals were found same but there  PCTL differ. Knowledge  of  limb bone length and total body height relation  is important.this study will be help for forensic experts, anthropologists  and anatomists
