Assessment of stature from the percutaneous measurement of ulna in healthy volunteers
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Estimation of stature from bones play an important role in identifying unknown bodies, parts of bodies or skeletal remains. For this purpose, an attempt has been made to derive regression equation formula to estimate stature from length of ulna, in the current study. Aims and Objectives: To correlate percutaneous length of right and left ulna with the body height and thus estimate stature by deriving regression formula. Methodology: This study Consist of total 200 (100 male and 100 female) healthy subjects in a Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Science, Indore, M.P with age between20 to 25 years. The Ulnar (Rt. & Lt.) length was measured by spreading caliper. The Stature (Height) was measured in standing erect, anatomical position with standard height measuring instrument.. The data was analysed statistically Prizam software for calculation of Mean, SD, Standard error, Correlation coefficient, Regression coefficient, value of constant and âtâ test for correlation coefficient. Results: The correlation coefficients for right and left ulnae in males are 0.835 and 0.837 whereas in females 0.772 and0.774 respectively. The difference in mean length of ulna in males and females was found to be statistically significant (P <0.001). Conclusion: There is Positive Correlation between Stature and Ulna bone length. This fact will be of practical use in Medico Legal investigations and in Anthropometry. Study would be useful for Anthropologist and Forensic Medicine experts.
