Estimation of Stature Based on Lower Limbs: A Study Among the Male Children from Uttar Pradesh's Chandauli - Mirzapur Districts

Abstract: The goal of this study is to estimate stature or height from lower-limbs in male-children from the Uttar Pradesh (UP) districts of Chandauli and Mirzapur (India). 501 children aged eight (8) to fourteen years (14) old volunteered to take part in the research during the school year 2014-2015, and data was collected using multistage random sampling. On the right-side of each participant, four anthropometric measurements were taken: height, trochanterion length (TL), tibiale-laterale length (TLL), and biepicondylar femur breadth (BFB) (ISAK recommendation). The data was analysed, and an attempt was made to create a regression model based on the link between stature (dependent variable) and TL, TLL, and BFB (estimates). At P
