Aim: The aim of this study is to estimate the stature from minimum frontal diameter, bizygomatic breadth and bigonial diameter by deriving a formula.
Materials and Method: A total sample of 100 people in Chennai participated in this study which comprises 25 males and 75 females. All 3 parameters which are minimum frontal diameter, bizygomatic breadth and bigonial diameter using a sliding and spreading caliper.
Results: 3 linear regressions were formed each showing correlation to height. Based on these linear regression, it shows the relationship of the 3 parameters which were minimum frontal diameter, bizygomatic breadth and bigonial diameter to height. For minimum frontal diameter it is “Height = 1.981Minimum Frontal Diameter + 140.887 (R² = 0.045)”. For bizygomatic breadth it is“Height = 1.148Bizygomatic Breadth + 145.603 (R²=0.031)” . For bigonial diameter it is “Height = 1.479Bigonial Diameter + 146.56 (R²= 0.030)”
Conclusion: Identification of the human skeleton is an important aspect in forensic examination. This study helps determine the height of the skeleton by estimating the components of the face which is minimum frontal diameter, bizygomatic breadth and bigonial diameter. It can be concluded that the regression formulae calculated in our study show good reliability and applicability of the estimation of height.
