BookPublisher: Man In India Description: 104 (3&4), 2024: p.233-242.Subject(s): Dermatoglyphics, atd angle, Ridge cound, Pattern Intensity Index, Furuhata IndexSummary: The scientific study of the pattern of epidermal ridges is known as dermatoglyphics. The
ridge pattern of fingerprints develops in intrauterine life and remains the same until death before
being altered by decomposition. Dermatoglyphics can be used for various purposes, especially in
personal identification and population variation studies. A cross-sectional study was conducted
to understand the fingertip patterns, angle, ridge count, and different indices among the Lodha
population of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. A total of 103 (male-48; female-55)
individuals were selected for this study using the purposive sampling method. Interview,
schedule, and ink method (Cummins and Mildo, 1943) were used to collect data directly from
the participants. A higher percentage of arch and composite patterns can be observed among the
male participants (4.16% and 7.5%, respectively) compared to the females (2.18% and 3.45%).
Females had a higher percentage of loops and whorls (52.9% and 41.45%, respectively) than
males (49.58% and 38.75%, respectively). The difference between fingertip patterns of male and
female Lodha participants was statistically significant (χ2=12.124; p≤0.05). While no statistically
significant difference between male and female participants was found in atd angle, ridge count
and in other indices. More studies are necessary to understand the finger and palmprint profiles
of the Lodha population. - Reproduced
