Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: The organ weight is one important indicator to differentiate normal condition from abnormal in forensic pathology as well as in clinical medicine. This study includes organ weights of Bengali population, which can be fundamental sources to be analysed comparatively with other ethnic groups. A total 716 cases of which 256 were females and 460 were males are studied for organ weights. Six organs; brain, heart, lungs, spleen, liver and kidneys were studied during autopsy examination. The mean weight of all organs is more in males than in females. The weight of the heart and both lungs are found to be positively correlated with age and the weight of brain, liver, spleen and the kidneys are noted to be negatively correlated with age. The weight of all the organs is noted to be positively correlated with body length. Keywords:Autopsy, organ weight, age, sex, body length, correlation.
