Assessing hand and foot dimensions for height estimation has always been of immense interest to the anatomist, scientist and forensic experts. The present study was carried out to determine the height from the foot length in the population of Saudi Arabia. Method: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted among male and female students aged 18-25 years studying at College of Medicine, Majmaah University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having no foot deformity, spinal or bony injuries or surgeries. The obtained data were statistically analyzed. Results: The mean Stature(cm) of the male was 173.19__ampersandsignplusmn;5.29, Left Foot length (cm) was 26.0__ampersandsignplusmn;1.40)and Right Foot length (cm) was (26.0__ampersandsignplusmn;1.52). While the mean stature (cm) of female was 158.56__ampersandsignplusmn;5.55, Left Foot length (cm) was 23.19__ampersandsignplusmn;1.14 and Right Foot length (cm) was23.19__ampersandsignplusmn;1.16. Males having significantly higher values than females. Correlation by comparing the Pearson correlation coefficient and foot length (FL) showed the relationship in males (r = 0.602, p__ampersandsignlt;0.01) and females ( r=0.629, p__ampersandsignlt;0.01). Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that males have a greater mean value of stature when compared to females. It was observed that there is the existence of a direct relationship between the foot length with the stature in both the sexes.&#13;
