- Abstract
Introduction: The term "human identification" refers to the process of recognizing a specific person based on their distinctive physical traits. One of the most useful anthropometric parameters for identifying people is their height. In order to help with the detection of crimes like rape, murder, and child trafficking, forensic anthropologists’ analyses and identify human remains like dry bones and skull using metric techniques. Determining a person's height and gender is crucial in forensic science when establishing their identification. Forensic anthropology, healthcare, and multidisciplinary research may all benefit from researchers broadening the study's focus to include the Indore population and improving its influence on height estimate using face features across various religions. Methodology: A cross sectional study was done in adults belonging to Indore. Both the institute's ethical approval and the patients' informed permission were obtained. The participants' demographic information, Measurements of face characteristics were taken, along with height. The cephalon-facial measurements used were maximum head length (MHL), maximum head breadth (MHB), horizontal head circumference (HC), Bigonial diameter (BD), physiognomic facial length (PFL), ear length (EL), ear breadth (EB), and cephalic index (CI) and analysed with respect to various religion. All face parameter data was transformed from millimeters to centimeters. Data was analysed on Windows XP Professional using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The collected data were analysed using regression analysis, standard error of estimate, mean, standard deviation, and Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient. The estimation of height was done using regression models. Using them on a different sample of 25 males and 25 females from Indore allowed us to assess their dependability as well. Results: There were 494 women and 506 men, with an age distribution of within the 18–50 age bracket. Muslims tend to be taller and have larger faces than non-Muslims, according to the data. The TFH has the greatest r‖ value in men who are Hindu and Christian. Compared to Hindu men, Christian guys had a higher TFH r‖ value of 0.543. For Muslim males, the greatest ―r‖ rating is for BOW (0.461). To sum up, When it comes to finding out what percentage of male Indore inhabitants identify as Hindu or Christian, TFH is considered the gold standard, whereas BOW is considered the best standard for finding out what percentage of male Indore residents identify as Muslim. Conclusion: TFH is considered the gold standard, whereas BOW is considered the best standard for finding out what percentage of male Indore residents identify as Muslim. TFH is the gold standard for identifying Christian and Hindu women, but for Muslim women, there is no robust face characteristic that correlates with height.
