Abstract
This study is aimed at establishing the reliability of estimating stature from foot length measurement in a Nigerian population. Two hundred and sixty-two healthy medical students of Imo State University Owerri, Nigeria were used for the study. The study yielded positive correlation coefficients of 0.698 and 0.70 for males and females respectively. The coefficient of determination was also positive. The regression formulae were Y = 4.145 + 0.133X for males and Y+ 5/171 + 0.123X for females (where Y= foot length, X + height). Sexual dimorphism was observed whereby the foot length of the female was smaller than the male foot length for the same height.
