Background: Stature can be expressed as stable proportional relationship with
other body part measurements of the human body like hand, feet, head, face and
other extremities.
Aims: The present study was conducted in Prayagraj city of Uttar Pradesh to
find a correlation between stature and head measurements and to derive the regression
formula.
Materials and methods: Among all 508 female samples of Prayagraj were selected. Head length,
head breadth and stature were measured.
Results: mean height was 154.95±5.47cm, and mean for head length & head
breadth was similarly found 17.81±0.70cm, 13.73±0.81cm. In present study for
head length Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was 0.146 with ±5.4 SEE and for
head breadth r was 0.094 with ±5.4 SEE which was significant for head length
and head breadth in female subjects.
