Population: adult Gujjars (the main caste in North India)
Parameters:
(1) left foot length in cm
(2) left foot breadth in cm
(3) right foot length in cm
(4) right foot breadth in cm
(5) gender
height of a male in cm =
= 96.002 + (3.088 * (right foot length)) - (0.982 * (right foot breadth))
height of a male in cm =
= 90.984 + (2.974 * (left foot length)) - (0.186 * (left foot breadth))
height of a female in cm =
= 71.225 + (0.887 * (right foot length)) + (7.395 * (right foot breadth))
height of a female in cm =
= 78.485 + (1.14 * (left foot length)) + (5.953 * (left foot breadth))
height in cm when gender is unknown =
= 86.114 + (2.137 * (right foot length)) + (2.501 * (right foot breadth))
height in cm when gender is unknown =
= 86.673 + (2.187 * (left foot length)) + (2.19 * (left foot breadth))
where:
• Foot length is the distance from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe.
• Foot breadth is the distance from the most prominent point on the medial side to the most prominent point on the lateral side of the foot.
