Background: The scientific study of human body measurements is known as anthropometry, which plays a crucial role in identification and analysis of any human being. Notably, height and hand length exhibit a strong correlation or relationship, enabling the estimation of one parameter based on one another, through statistical proof or demonstration. This relationship has significant implications for various fields, including forensic analysis, biometric identification, and ergonomic design. And by leveraging anthropometric data, informed decisions and estimate of unknown measurements can be made, thereby enhancing identification and analysis processes. Aim and Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between hand length and height in individuals. Methods and Material: The study was conducted among patients coming for investigations at Blue Cross Medical Diagnostic Center. Based on their agreement to participate in the study, their heights, hand lengths and weight measurements were taken using the standardized tool for each measurement. Results: The study found distinctive features between male and female genders: males with 20-25cm hand length fall between 170-179cm height range, while females with 15-19cm hand length are between 150-170cm height range. Conclusion: The study found that participants with longer hand length have a higher body height; with the highest population of those with longer hand length being male (22%), while those with shorter hand lengths are females (78%). Thus, allowing for possible categorization or sorting of body parts or estimates, prior to detailed identification either by sex, age and occupation in certain disasters such as accidents or explosions where body parts are not yet totally destroyed.
