ABSTRACT:

Aim: To identify the Stature from the cephalo-facial dimension (facial height) in Indian females.

Materials and Methods: A stadiometer was used to measure the stature, and the facial height was taken by utilizing a vernier caliper, in 43 female medical students. To know about the significance and correlation, the data were analysed statistically.

Results: Mean stature and the mean facial height were found to be 158.93±11.06 cm and 10.39±0.83 cm respectively. P value was less than 0.001 and Pearson’s coefficient obtained was 0.93. Hence, there is found to be a significant positive correlation between stature and facial height in Indian females.

Conclusion: Estimation of stature from the facial height could be performed where only unknown head and face are brought for anthropometric examinations.

Key words: Facial Height, Stature, Cephalofacial dimension.
