Stature Estimation Using Ulnar Length and Shoulder Elbow Length in a Bangladeshi Population

Therefore, the present study was intended to develop the standard formula to evaluate the stature of a person using ulnar length and shoulder elbow length in Bangladeshi adult population. The study was carried out on arbitrarily selected 300 healthy adult individuals (150 males and 150 females). At first, several statistical tests were applied to analyze the collected data. Then, sex-specific simple linear regression, stepwise regression, and multiple regression models were applied to develop the models for estimating the stature based on shoulder elbow length and ulnar length. The results showed the insignifican...
