In this study we carried out estimation of stature on specific facial measurements among the students born and brought in the state of Tamilnadu, further we attemted to determine the degree of correlation between the facial measurements and stature. The standing height, morphological facial length, vertical length of nose, external biocular breadth, bizygomatic breadth, and bigonial breadth of the students comprising 100 males and 100 females aged 18 to 25 were measured and analysed. Mean stature of male was 170.63 cm and female was 155.48 cm. A fair sexual dimorphism was found among stature, and all facial measurements except vertical length of nose. Highest correlation was found between stature and morphological facial length, the values were among female 38.8 %, (at P value 0.0001), and male 31.9% (at P value 0.0012). The predicting power of multiple facial measurements was 22.38% and 14.83% among female and male population respectively. The study demonstrated that the use of facial measurements for the estimation of stature is valid and worth pursuing. © 2018, Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. All rights reserved.
