An important aspect of any forensic study is its human stature and gender estimate. Aim: The study's main purpose was to estimate the individual's stature and gender by using upper limb measurements like arm and forearm lengths, elbow breadths, and wrist breadths and circumferences. Materials and Methods: To create the equations, five anthropometric measurements were taken of 568 healthy adult Indian volunteers, 294 males and 274 females, ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. A digital vernier caliper was used to measure the arm and ulnar lengths, elbow breadth, and wrist breadth and circumference in millimeters. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20. Results: A significant correlation was revealed between stature and arm, forearm, elbow, and wrist dimensions on both sides using linear regression models. Approximately 71% to 86% accurate gender estimation of the research population. Conclusion: A study has found that arm and forearm length, elbow and wrist breadth, and wrist circumference can all be used to predict stature and gender in Indians.Hemlata MohiteSandeep MohiteSatish KakadeShashikant ManeManoj AmbaliLight House Polyclinic Mangalore articlestaturegenderupper limb measurementsMedicineRENOnline Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, Vol 20, Iss 3 (2021) |
