摘要：Objective: This study was an attempt to formulate a linear regression equation for estimation of stature by measuring the ulnar length in living adult Nepalese population. Method: The material consists of 600 subjects between 25-40 years of age in Biratnagar, Bharatpur and Bhairahawa, eastern, middle and mid-western region of Nepal respectively. The left and right ulnar length was measured from the tip of the olecranon process to the tip of the styloid process by a spreading caliper. The stature was measured in anatomical position while standing barefooted with standard height measuring instrument. The documented data was calculated by the standard statistical software. Result: The parameters were tabulated and statistically analyzed. A fine correlation of stature with ulnar length was observed which was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: The length of ulna provides an accurate and reliable means in estimating the height of an individual and being almost a percutaneous bone its length can be measured easily. The regression formulae which were derived in this study will be useful for clinicians, human anatomists, archeologists, anthropologists and forensic experts.
