Abstract
Background: Aim: With the hope of developing regression formulas that could be used to estimate height
solely from ulnar length, this study sought to investigate the anthropometric relationship of female
subjects between ulnar length and height. Materials& Methods: Index Medical College & Hospital's
Ethics Committee approved the current study. This study was descriptive and analytical. Descriptive
analysis determined the mean ulnar lengths of female study participants. Participants were 18 to 22-yearold medical and paramedical students from Index Medical College & Hospital in Indore (Born & Brought
up in Indore). Results: The height of the female subjects taken into considerations for present study was
154.2±10.1. The ulnar length of the right ulnar is slightly higher than on the left side. When compared
between the two sides of the ulnar bone lengths, did observe significant difference. The present study
observed a stable incline, with a positive regression of Y= 101.55+1.49X when compared between height
and ulnar bone length of the female subjects. In addition, the present study also observed a positive
Pearson correlation coefficient with a P value of <0.05. Conclusion: Simple linear regression equation
derived can be used for estimation of height from ulna and vice versa. Thus, the data of this study will be
of practical use in medical science investigations and in anthropometry
