Material and Method
For the present study, total 1000(500 males and 500 females) asymptomatic, healthy adults, residing in Teerthanker Mahaveer University of cosmopolitan origin with age over 18 years old with no diagnosed history of knee arthropathy and spinal deformity and a written informed consent was taken from the subjects. The measurements were taken between 2 to 5 p.m. to remove the inconsistencies due to diurnal variations.
Sampling Method - : Purposive and Judgment sampling methods as these are best when we are studying a particular set of groups.

Associations was considered statistically significant at the p<0.05 and 0.01 level. Derivation of Linear regression equations were done to calculate height from both foot lengths and knee height of an individual.
The anthropometric measurements and instruments used to measure them are though very simple, practical and non-invasive still there is lack of homogeneity between different measures by same observer (i.e. Intra-observer) or by different observers (i.e. Inter-observer) is seen which challenges the statistical results of the study. Thus to overcome such target literature of Anthropometry shows that precision estimates (degree of variability) between different repeated measures have been put
