Dimensions of human hand have been measured by various authors across study groups. Thisanthropometric data has frequently been used to solve medicolegal cases. However, these details differacross various population groups and races, hence the present study was specifically undertaken to makean anthropometric record of young male population of North India. Young males between the 18 to 25years were selected and their hand length, hand breadth and Hand Index were measured. Sliding Vernier’scallipers and Dynamometer were used to measure the dimensions of hand and strength of hand grip,respectively. An anthropometric index (Hand Index) was calculated after measuring hand length and handbreadth. The results of the study indicated that hand grip strength was more in the right hand than the lefthand and that all the hand variables were positively correlated to the hand grip strength.Keywords: Hand length, Hand breadth, Hand index, North India, Young adult, Male.
