Estimation of Stature from Percutaneous Tibial Length in Male Cadavers of the Lahore Population Aged 20-50 Years

Abstract

Objective: To determine the correlation coefficient between tibial length and body stature and regression model for estimation of body length from tibial length in males. 
Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology KEMU, Lahore. The study duration was from January 2023 to November 2023. 
Methods: In this study percutaneous tibial length was measured along with body length in 62 dead bodies (31 males). It was a comparative cross sectional study. Non probability consecutive sampling technique was used. It was carried out in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology Department of KEMU, Lahore.  
Results: Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26. Correlation coefficient was calculated between percutaneous tibial length and body length of dead bodies. Pearson correlation coeffient was 0.933 respectively. Regression equations were obtained along with regression lines. 
Conclusion: Very strong statistically positive and significant results were found.
