RESUMO
In this study, foot length, foot width, stature and body weight of 3000 individuals [1500 males and 1500 females] aged 04-18 years old were taken from different schools of Assiut. Standard growth charts for foot length, foot width, stature and body weight were recorded. The results showed that foot length and foot width measurements of males were significantly higher than females. The growth spurts and the maturation of the foot length and the foot width of the females succeeded the males. A highly significant positive correlation between each of the stature and the body weight with each of the foot length and the foot width in both sexes was recorded. The correlation between the stature and the foot length was higher than that between the stature and foot width. Also, the correlation between the body weight and the foot width was better than that between the body weight and foot length. A highly significant positive correlation was found between foot length and the foot width in both sexes. Multiplication factors of the different studies variables were calculated for both sexes at different ages to estimate the stature and the body weight by multiplying the foot length or foot width by its suitable multiplication factor. Simple linear regression analysis was also done for all variables at all cases and four general regression formulae were introduced for estimation of stature and body weight of any individual from foot length and the foot width
