Introduction: A close relationship between stature and dimensions of various body segments is of value in medico-legal investigation as well as in anthropology Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between height and foot length among a group of males and females in South Bengal and to derive regression formulae between foot length and height of individual. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out on 400 subjects (200 male and 200 females) in the South Bengal. Stature was measured by a “Standard anthropometric instrument”. Result: Significant and positive correlation co-efficient was seen to exist between stature and measurement of foot length in both male and female population. Their respective regression equations were also obtained in both sexes. Conclusion: In this study, the correlation of height with foot length is greater in case of male than female. Foot length is greater relative to stature in men than women. Comparison was also made with the other population and this would contribute to the understanding of the relative status of our population in the context of anthropometric variants.
