Address   for   Correspondence:   Dr.    Sandeep   Kumar   Sharma,PG   student,Department   of   Anatomy,Teerthanker   Mahaveer   Medical   College   &   Research   Centre Moradabad, Teerthanker Mahaveer University ,Moradabad,UP,India-244001 E-Mail:  dr.sandeep.anatomy@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Back   Ground :      Stature   is   the   main   Parameter   for   identification      of         any   particular   persons   stature   give   a   important   indication   for   determination   of   any person   among      many   people.   Relationship   between   the   different   body   part   measurements   with   height   is   used   to   identify   one   to   another   in   case   of   missing body parts. 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.
