Introduction: Hand is as an important tool in the field of forensic science in predicting height of the person and at the same time hand breadth is also being used as a unit of measurement during routine clinical examination, diagnostic and surgical procedures of patients. For accurate clinical assessment of patients, practitioner as well as paramedical staff should be aware of their hand breadth. Objective: To predict the hand breadth from height and hand length in male and female. Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 85 male and 56 female in the age group of 20-40year. Height of the subjects was measured using anthropometer rod. Hand length and breadth were measured with the help of sliding calliper. Hand length was measured as a straight distance between distal crease of wrist and the tip of middle finger. Hand breadth was measured at two levels, proximal and distal. Results: Linear regression analysis was performed and the regression equations for predicting hand breadth from height and hand length were formulated. Regression coefficient for predicting hand breadth from height was ranging from 0.28-0.35 and 0.31-0.39 in male and female respectively; and from hand length was ranging from 0.51-0.57 and 0.55-0.75 in male and female respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that hand length provides a reliable means of predicting hand breadth than the height.
