Due to some condition we cannot measure physical stature of individual; in those cases we can measure a body part to estimate stature. This study determines that from arm span length we can reliably estimate stature. The cross sectional study of 145 individuals (80 males and 65 females) to find the relation between percutaneous arm span length and stature along with multiplication factor to reconstruct the stature. The correlation coefficient between height and arm span length was found to be positive. Regression equations between height and arm span length were derived from obtained data. Stature can be reliably estimated from the arm span length.
