E-Mail: [email protected] Background: Estimation of stature has a very significant role to play in forensic anthropometry for personal identification. Present study is undertaken to derive regression equations for estimation of stature from foot breadth. Materials and Methods: Present study was carried out on 520 female subjects among the tribal population of Udaipur district. The stature and foot breadth were calculated and the data was analyzed statistically and the regression equations were derived. Result: In females, the Foot Breadth was highly significant of right and left sides(p < 0.05).In females there was a near to mild correlation between foot breadth of right (0.109) and left (0.106) sides with the stature. Conclusion: The present study revealed that there is a positive correlation exists between the stature and foot breadth. Linear regression equations were deduced in females out of which lowest standard error of estimate was experienced in combined foot breadth of females.
