Estimation of stature is significant in the personal identification in case of murders, natural disasters and accidents. Besides determination of race, sex and age of the unknown individual, estimation of stature enhances the reliability of identification.&#13;
Methods: The present study is based on the measurements of crown heel length and foot length of total 409 full term normal newborns (216 male, 193 female) delivered in labor ward of civil hospitals in Himachal Pradesh, measurements of the parameters were taken in 12-24 hours after birth, measured by using digital vernier caliper.&#13;
Results: The mean, standard deviation and correlation was calculated between foot length and height of newborn. High significant value was found in foot length (p=0.001) for both male and female. Middle Himalayas shows high correlation between male and female (r=0.44)&#13;
Conclusion: Crown heel length and foot length were significantly correlated with each other in all the three zones of Himachal Pradesh and high correlation was found in females&#13;
