Many professionals including anthropologists, medical scientists and anatomists had beenusing the anthropometric technique to estimate the body size since decades or even centuries. The studywhich we have conducted in North Karnataka of South Indian was to estimate the length of the righthumerus from the dimension of proximal and distal segments of humerus using a regression equation. Thisis absolutely essential for archeologists, anthropologists and forensic investigators, even when a fragmentof bone is available. The current study was therefore focused on the measurement of proximal and distalsegments of humerus from which the length of the humerus was estimated.Materials and Methods: The maximum lengths of the right humeri (MHL) were measured and the meanvalues were calculated. The different measurements of proximal and the distal segments of 53 right humeriwere noted and used in our study. Maximum length of humerus, vertical and transverse diameter ofproximal segment, transverse diameter and biepicondylar width of distal segment were measured usinganthropometric techniques. A regression equation was formulated to calculated the length of the entirehumerus provided we can access the measurements of different fragments available.Results: With the measurements obtained analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Regressionequation for right humeri was derived to estimate the length of the right humerus. On applying theregression analysis, among 53 right humeri, it was proved that, the vertical diameter of superior articularsurface had significant role in estimating the maximum humeral length with maximum correlation coefficientof 0.94(pConclusion: Thus we can conclude that the length of the right humerus can be estimated from the measuresof proximal and distal segments of right humerus.Keywords: Regression equation, Right humerus, Estimation of length, North Karnataka.
