Stature from Human Sternum in Females
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
An essential aspect of medico-legal proceedings is stature estimation. Securing the regression formula for calculation of stature of adult females by assessing the length of manubrium and meso-sternum is the objective of this study. Through dissection and maceration of soft tissues, 50female sterna were obtained from known corpses aged between 14years and 60years. For manubrium the resultant regression formula is Y=130.6 + 5.2x length of manubrium with standard error of ±5.3 and coefficient correlation is 0.3. For meso-sternum the resultant regression formula is Y=126.76+3.6x length of meso-sternum with standard error of ±4.0 and coefficient correlation is 0.49.Due to the greater coefficient correlation, the length of meso-sternum appears to be a perfect instrument for assessment of stature. This study thus verifies that, to determine the stature of a person meso-sternum is a consistent instrument.
