Abstract
Background: Estimation of stature has a very significant role to play in forensic anthropometry for personal identification. Present study is undertaken to derive regression equations for estimation of stature from digit length. Material and methods: Present study was carried out on 481 males subjects among the tribal population of Udaipur district. The stature and digit length were calculated and the data was analyzed statistically and the regression equations were derived. Result: The correlation between height and digit length in Tribals of Udaipur was found correlation coefficient (r) as 0.0519 for right digit and for left digit it was 0.0473 and for combined digit length 'r' was 0.0496 in males. Conclusion: The present study revealed that the Digit length in males was highly significant of right and left sides (p < 0.05). There was a high correlation between right & left side digit length of males (0.999). There was a very low correlation between digit length of males of right (0.051) and left (0.047) sides with the stature.
