Methodological analysis of stature estimation from tibia osteometric data

Modifying stature estimation from the femur and tibia.

Forensic anthropology casework-essential methodological considerations in stature estimation.

The examination of skeletal remains is a challenge to the medical examiner's/coroner's office and the forensic anthropologist conducting the investigation. One of the objectives of the medico-legal investigation is to estimate stature or height from various skeletal remains and body parts brought for examination. Various skeletal remains and body parts bear a positive and linear correlation wit...

Estimation of Stature from Mandible

In forensic practice, determination of stature is important and frequently used parameter in the identification of unknown and commingled human remains. The procedure to estimate body height is to use its components1. Most of the studies relating to estimation of stature have used measurements of long bones to formulate regression equations or multiplication factors. However, few attempts have ...

Estimation of stature from metacarpal lengths.

Formulae for the estimation of stature from metacarpal lengths are presented. Two samples of metacarpal specimens were employed in the analysis: one of 212 individuals from the Terry Collection, and one of 55 modern males, all of whom had measured statures. One measurement, the midline length, was taken on each metacarpal. Stature was regressed on the basis of the metacarpal length to derive eq...

Estimation of Stature from Percutaneous Lengths of Tibia and Fibula of Scheduled Castes of Haryana State, India

The paper presents unilinear and mutiunilinear regression formulae for the reconstruction of stature from percutaneous lengths of tibia and fibula of Scheduled Caste males and females of Haryana State of India. The study is based on a crosssectional sample of 202 individuals (101 males and 101 females) aged 18 to 21 years. Left and right radial subcutaneous lengths of tibia and fibula of each s...
