Estimation of height from measurement of various body parts is of particular interest to many anthropologists, anatomist and forensic scientist for its importance in medico­legal cases. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between personal stature and footlength & to derive a regression formula to predict the height of an individual using foot length. The present study was conducted on 200 apparently healthy students (100 males and 100 females)studying in various places of Middle Gujarat Region between 18 ­25 years of ages. All these measurements were done by using standard anthropometric instruments and standard anthropometric techniques. Data was analysed separately for male and female. Estimation of stature using regression analysis using foot length gives the correlation coefficient for both sexes. It is concluded that linear regression analysis is goodfor estimating accurate stature.
