Personal identification is an essential issue when mutilated and amputated limbs or parts of the body are found in mass disasters. Estimation of the stature from the size of different parts of the body is one of the most important items in personal identification. The aim of this study was to estimate the stature from upper limb anthropometry.
Height, left upper limb, left arm, left forearm, length and breadth of the left hand, and length of the left second to fifth fingers were measured on 100 right-handed Iranian medical students aged between 21 and 26 years from February to may 2010.
After analyzing the datas, it was shown that there is a meaningful relation between the stature and upper limb dimensions (p < 0.05), [correlation coefficients ranged from 0.310 to 0.696 in males and 0.299 to 0.735 in females].
The regression formula derived in this study can be used for forensic pathologists and Anthropologists.
在大规模灾难中发现残缺和截肢的肢体或身体部分时，个人身份识别是一个至关重要的问题。根据身体不同部位的尺寸估算身高是个人身份识别中最重要的项目之一。本研究的目的是通过上肢人体测量来估算身高。
2010年2月至5月，对100名年龄在21至26岁之间的伊朗右利手医学生测量了身高、左上肢、左臂、左前臂、左手的长度和宽度以及左手第二至五指的长度。
数据分析表明，身高与上肢尺寸之间存在显著关系（p < 0.05），[男性的相关系数范围为0.310至0.696，女性为0.299至0.735]。
本研究得出的回归公式可用于法医病理学家和人类学家。
