Abstract

Stature is among the factors required to establish individuality of an unidentified dead body or any mutilated part of such body. In present study an attempt will be made to estimate the stature from percutaneous length of ulna. Study consists of 50 adult males and 50 adult females between the age group of 18- 30 years, born in Central India. On computing the data, significant positive correlation between the stature and percutaneous ulnar bone length will be assessed. Stature will be estimated from percutaneous length of ulna using simple regression analysis.
Key words: Stature, ulna, Bone length, Regression equation.
