Introduction: Human beings are considered to be bilaterally symmetrical. However, there is no symmetry in the length of the feet irrespective of sex or handedness. The hand length could predict bodyweight and body surface area independent of the sex of the individual. But there was no so much data available in the literature showing the relationship between hand length and foot length. Aim and objective: The present study was conducted to derive the correlation between hand length and foot length and the results demonstrate that there was highly signicant correlation between them. Material and Methods:Across sectional study was carried out on 200 healthy and normal adult professional students of either sex (100 Male and 100 Female), age between 18-25 years. Result:the hand length and foot length were compared between the right and left sides, the data showed that the signicant difference between males and females on both sides was highly signicant for all the parameters measured with p value < 0.01 Conclusion:The results of current study indicate that if the hand length is known, foot length can be predicted and if the foot length is known, hand length can be predicted and vice versa.

There are various studies of stature estimation which is very important for formulation of biological profile and is population specific. This study was conducted to estimate height using hand and handprint dimensions among Malaysian population. This study comprises 200 voluntary male and 200 voluntary female subjects with age ranging from 20 to 60 years. Eight anthropometric measurements were taken on each hand and its corresponding prints. All the data was statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistic 19 software. The result indicated that hand length and handprint length has the strongest correlation with stature for male and female subjects. However, for unknown gender, it was showed that almost all of the hand dimensions measured in this study except for pinky finger length showed strong correlation with stature for both right and left hand while for handprint measurements, only hand length and palm length gave better correlation with stature. Formulae for stature estimation using various hand and handprint dimensions were derived successfully for both linear and multiple regression for the ease of data availability in future use.
