200adult male aged between 25-30 years belong to western Maharashtra were selected for the study, their head length (Nasion to Inion) was measured by spreading caliper and height of stature (crown - heel) was measured by anthropometry. The mean length of head length was 18.40 cm (SD ± 1.04) and height of stature was 163.08 cm (SD ± 8.89) correlation of ratio between head length and height of stature was 0.959 cm. The regression coefficient equation was x = 0.1129, xy - 0.0216, y = 8.15016x X+ 13.10. This study will help the medico=legal expert, anthropologist and anatomist because estimations of stature from head length appears to be new study in India because no literature was available to compare.Keywords
