Estimation of stature by morphometry of percutaneous tibia
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Stature estimation is an indispensable part of the identification process of human skeletal remains or body parts Height is also fundamental to assess growth and nutrition and calculating body surface area Studies on anthropometric measurements of lower limbs among living people have been used as an important tool by forensic anthropologists to reconstruct the living stature of unidentified skeletal remainsAims and Objectives The aim of the present study was to estimate the stature from percutaneous tibial length PCTL by formulating linear regression equations and also by using multiplication factors which would be useful in the field of forensic anthropologyMaterials and Methods Sample size measured 350 subjects of Sri Siddhartha Medical College Tumkur age group ranging from 17 to 22yrs were considered for the study Height and PCTL were measured using the standard anthropometric techniqueResults Stature was estimated from PCTL using simple regression analysis The height of males was significantly higher than that of females The mean height in females and males was 15887cm and 17088 cm respectively and mean PCTL was 3854cm and 3399cm in male and female respectively which was significantly pConclusion Stature can be estimated using the anthropometric measurements of tibia in an intact mutilated legKeywords Height Tibial length Anthropometry Regression equation
