| Open Access | MEASURING UP: USING RING FINGER LENGTH FOR STATURE ESTIMATION IN THE HARYANAVI POPULATION
Abstract
"Measuring Up: Using Ring Finger Length for Stature Estimation in the Haryanavi Population" investigates the utility of ring finger length as a proxy for estimating stature in individuals from the Haryanavi population. This study employs anthropometric measurements and statistical analysis to establish correlations between ring finger length and stature, providing insights into the feasibility and accuracy of this method within the Haryanavi demographic. By examining a sample of individuals from the Haryana region, this research contributes to the field of forensic anthropology and biostatistics, offering a practical tool for stature estimation in diverse populations.
