Background: The carrying angle is defined as the acute angle made by the median axis of the arm and that of fully extended & supinated forearm & thus it measures the lateral obliquity of the forearm. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to estimate the male female difference in the carrying angle among Kashmiri population and to find out any correlation of carrying angle with different parameters like gender and height. Methods: We included an arbitrary sample of 200 students both male and female from the sampling frame using convenient sampling method. The socio-demographic characteristics and anthropometry data were recorded on a pretested, predesigned proforma. The measurement of carrying angle was done using an improvised instrument goniometer. Results: A total of 200 participants were included in the study, among whom 53% were females and rest were males. The mean height of all the participants was 168.14±6.41 Cms. The carrying angle ranged from 7 -19 Degrees in the study participants among both the sexes. The association of the gender and height of the participants with carrying angle was found to be statistically significant for both right and left extremities with p-values < 0.05. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the carrying angle is greater in females than in males and it can be regarded as the secondary sexual characteristic in females. Furthermore, height of an individual is inversely proportional to its carrying angle.
