The Importance of Individual and Population Variation to Human Stature Estimation
Human stature estimation is a central part of forensic anthropological investigation. It is one of several factors used to identify unknown individuals. The statistical relationship between body length and body segment length allows for long bone lengths from an unidentified individual to be used …

Stature estimation: evaluating regression equations for different population groups in South Africa
Stature estimations from regression formulae are used by forensic anthropologists in constructing a biological profile from unidentified human remains. Regression formulae are used to calculate total skeletal height or living stature when incomplete, fragmentary or burned human remains are …

The impact of living conditions, socio-economic, nutritional and health status on growth, development, maximum attained stature and physical shape in archaeological skeletal population samples.
… and nutrition, have a noticeable influence on stature and body proportions. Importantly, socio-economic status has a powerful influence on stature, which has been used to elucidate status differences in past societies (Bogin and Loucky, 1997; Floud et al., 1990; Schutkowski, 2000a). …

The Shortcomings of Maize: Using Tipu to Assess Maize Consumption and its Impact on Stature and Limb Proportions Among the Maya
… and modern Maya has been reasoned to cause short statures and short legs compared to overall height. The goal of this study was to test this proposition using a sample of contact period Maya from the site of Tipu in western Belize. Long bone length data from 100 individuals were compared to that …

An investigation into determinants of successful rowing performance in terms of body morphology and stretcher position.
… Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) protocol. Stature, muscle mass and mid-thigh girth were correlated with performance in open-class men (p < 0.05), while biiliocristal breadth and humerus breadth were correlated with performance in lightweight men (p < 0.05). Corrected forearm girth and sum …
