The tools and techniques vary from as basic anthropometric measurement to as advanced as studying genes depending upon the field of medical science. Anthropometry is mainly covered under the departments of Anatomy and forensic and/or criminology units. Stature has been estimated by various researchers using arm span, hand length, length of the foot, length of fingers, demi-span, sitting height and many more. This review was aimed to study various parameters used for stature estimation and finding out the most supported one. This systematic review has included studies which have primarily focused on measurement of height with any other correlate to getting a brief account of anthropometric data on stature. The articles were sorted out using various databases which include Google Scholar, Scopus, Research Gate, PubMed and MEDLINE. All the articles were reviewed twice and most relevant articles were included and analyzed. Out of different parameters used for predicting the stature of an individual, the arm-span is the most efficient and accurate. Arm span can be used for prediction of the stature of the particular population.&#13;
