Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of this study is the relation between stature and external ear measurements.Timepoint: 10 months(June 2024- March 2025)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Determination of stature is very important in forensic science to identify a person.Timepoint: 10 months(June 2024- March 2025);In the case of unknown body, stature estimation is important to identify the person and this can be done by anthropometry measurements of the body parts and morphological variations of external ear.Timepoint: 10 months(June 2024- March 2025)
