N2 - The present study is based on measurement of foot length of 200 students of two age groups - 6 to 8 yr & 12 to14 yr. Foot length (heel to tip of each digit), foot width, foot girth at metatarsophalangeal joints & stature were the parameters. Collected data was analyzed. Standard deviation, co-relation coefficient, sexual dimorphism, regression formulae and multiple regression equations were predicted. This study suggest a significant relationship between the foot dimensions & stature. If either of the measurement is known, the other can be predicted. This would be useful for anthropologist and forensic medicine experts.
