ABSTRACT
In the process of forensic identification its important to know the person's
height. Therefore, many medical experts and forensic experts conducted a study to
estimate anthropometric height person by measuring various parts of human body.
Another way to estimate human height is by measuring the foot
length. Determination of height by measuring the long bones previously have been
done, but the estimated height of the living and through measuring foot length in
Indonesian is still not quite a lot done, but not all the died bodies found in the form of
long bones and bone only. In the case of mutilation for example, the body was found
mutilated and the tissue, where skin, muscle, and periosteum still intact. This study
was conducted on 40 people, men and women who are still alive, then height and foot
length was measured of to find the formula for finding between the length of your foot
and height. Height was measured in erect anatomical position, using the standart
instrument and the foot length measured by using vernier caliper. The method used in
this study is the cross sectional and Pearson correlation test.
The result of this study is r value of 0816 which showed a strong relationship
between foot length and human height and height esmating formula, 90,372 + 3,089 x
mens foot length and 53,649 + 4,396 x womens foot length.
