Anthropometry is the science that deals with the measurement of size, weight and proportion of the human body. Stature is natural heights of a person in an upright position. This can be estimated from arm span length. In the last 50 years of the 20th century various mass disasters such as different powerful storm, flood, plane crash, train accident was increased. Very recently in Chittagong and southern Bangladesh many people were killed through land slides and Seder. As so many disasters were occurring it is possible to identify a missing person if a part of his or her body is available. The arm span lengths can be used as a basis for estimating age-related loss in stature and as an alternative measure to stature. The study was done for the estimation of stature from the arm span on one hundred and fifty Bangladeshi adult Muslim females. Subject was collected from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka and some urban region of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The present study showed significant (p<0.001) positive correlation between the stature and the arm span.
人体测量学是一门研究人体尺寸、重量和比例测量的科学。身高是指人直立时的自然身高。这可以通过臂展长度来估算。在20世纪的最后50年里，各种重大灾难如不同强度的风暴、洪水、飞机坠毁、火车事故有所增加。最近在吉大港和孟加拉国南部，许多人因山体滑坡和塞德而丧生。由于发生了如此多的灾难，如果能找到失踪人员身体的一部分，就有可能识别出该失踪人员。臂展长度可以作为估算与年龄相关的身高损失的依据，也可以作为身高的替代测量方法。本研究对150名孟加拉国成年穆斯林女性的臂展进行身高估算。研究对象来自达卡的孟加拉国国父谢赫·穆吉布医科大学以及孟加拉国达卡的一些城市地区。本研究表明身高与臂展之间存在显著的（p<0.001）正相关。
