Abstract

The foot print provides a range of dimensions. Every individual has got a peculiar print. Hence, is being used for personal identification. Foot and foot print dimensions are concomitant with the height of an individual. An attempt was made to find out its correlation.Dermatoglyphics footprints of 100 male and 100 female of 19–23 year age were obtained and studied. Foot length (from foot print) and erect height of the individual was measured. Regression equation was utilised for ascertaining its correlation. The value of constants for male and female comes to be 15.690 and 87.906 respectively. The β coefficient for male is 6.342 and 3.165 for female. Regression equation is derived for height estimation of either gender. The statistically significant “t” value is observed in both cases.
