Superior–inferior height (SIH), anterior–posterior width (APW) and pit depth (PD) of the sternal end of fourth rib were taken. Results The correct sex determination in younger and older age group was 84.65% and 81.75% respectively. Conclusion The result demonstrated that SIH and APW were highly dimorphic in all group while PD was dimorphic in older age.
