Abstract
Background: Determining adult height from clavicle length is an interdisciplinary endeavor intersecting forensic anthropology, medicine, and bioarchaeology. This method is pivotal in forensic investigations and anthropological research, offering insights into individuals' biological characteristics across various populations. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over three years at SCB Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha, involving 100 healthy adult volunteers. Clavicle length and stature were measured, and demographic data including age, sex, and ethnicity were recorded. Statistical analyses, including correlation and multiple regression, were performed to explore the relationship between clavicle length and stature while adjusting for potential confounders.
