Objective:   the   current   study   dealt   with   derived   regression   equation   for   height   prediction   from   foot   length.   And   got   correlation   between   height   and   foot length in western up population. Materials   and   Methods:    Present   study   was   conducted   on   400   people   (200   males   &   200   females)   of   age   between   18   to   30   years   studying   in   Western   Uttar Pradesh region. Results:    There   was   significant   correlation   (r)   between   height   and   foot   length   (for   male   right   foot   length   is   .71&   left   foot   length   is   .70   and   female   right   foot length   is   .56   &   left   foot   length   is   .98)   and   P<.05.The   regression   equation   for   height   and   foot   length   y=73.99+3.65×left   foot   length,   and   for   female   right foot length y=86.64+2.9×right foot length, for left foot length y=85.01+3.01×left foot length). Conclusion:    The   Present   study   is   established   definite   correlation   b/w   stature   and   foot   length   and   also   regression   equation   have   been   established.   In   this study we have found the statistically moderate correlation  b /w height and foot length and minimum standard error in estimation of stature.
