Abstract
Abstract:
In the study of human remains, forensic anthropologists must have the necessary knowledge of human variation specific to a given region and population in order to be able to identify any unknown individual. Height estimation by measurement of various long bones has been attempted by several workers with variable degree of success. Population based differences exist in both metric and morphological features of the skeleton and these have changed over time. Therefore, it is vital for biological anthropologists to conduct up-to-date research on diverse population groups residing in different geographic zones. Objective: to establish a relationship between the stature and both foot & hands dimensions among male and female individuals of Greater Cairo. Subjects and methods: Measurements of stature, foot length, foot width, hand length, and hand width were recorded from 500 adult males and from 500 adult females (age range 18-60 years). Results: the present study has established definite correlation between stature and foot-length and also regression equations have been established. Conclusion: the established correlation in the present study will help in establishing identity of individuals in greater Cairo.
