Abstract Introduction: Height estimation by measurement of various long bones has been attempted by several research fellows with variable degree of success. Each research fellow has derived his own formula for calculating the stature from long bones. Stature has a definite and proportional biological relationship with each and every part of the human body, i.e. head, face, trunk and extremities. This relationship helps a forensic scientist to calculate stature from dismembered and mutilated body parts in forensic examinations. Aims: To study the relationship of human height with human head circumference. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted Panchkula region of Haryana. The study carried out 75 individuals aged between 18 and 35 years. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed for the statistical data and data was observed. Results : The mean height is found to be 169.54 + 6.71 in male and 161.6 + 5.31 in females. head circumference of male and female is found to be 54.60+2.24 and 54.13+2.44 respectively. it was observed that there was a strong positive correlation between height and head circumference (0.068). Conclusion : It was observed in present study that there was a strong positive correlation between height and head circumference in both males and females but as such gender difference did not showed much difference.
