“…In another study, Navid et al [22] found the mean upper arm length 33.72 cm in male students and the mean upper arm length 30.12 cm in female students. Also, in a study carried out by Armah et al [23] on the undergraduate students in Ghana, they reported the mean right humeral length 35.70 cm in males and 32.77 cm in females, whereas the mean left humeral length 35.62 cm in males and 32.74 cm in females.…”

“…The stature was measured in centimeters to the closest millimeters by using a stadiometer. Measurements of stature, shoulder elbow length, and ulnar length followed the study of Asadujjaman et al [6], Borkar [24], and Prasad et al [35], respectively. This study measured all dimensions in a well-lit room and followed the rules of Vallois [39].…”

“…Ulnar length: Ulnar length was measured as the direct distance from the tip of the styloid process to the tip of the olecranon process, while the arm flexed at the elbow joint and placed the palm over the opposite shoulder [35] (Fig. 1c).…”

“…Among these measurements, the stature estimation from long bones becomes imperative, while the direct height measurement is difficult, especially in debilitated, bedridden persons or in persons that may have vertebral column or limbrelated problems [21]. The measurement from long bones includes the upper arm length [22] or humeral length [23,24], tibial length [23,25], femoral length [26], fibula length [25,27], radial length [28][29][30][31] and ulnar length [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] etc. Further, it has also been found that the lower extremities are strongly correlated with stature than upper extremities [36].…”

In forensic science, the stature estimation from different parts of the human body, particularly in personal identification, has gained considerable importance due to mass disasters like cyclones, earthquakes, mass accidents, terror attacks etc. Moreover, clinically stature estimation is also essential to assess physical growth, nutrition, and calculating body surface area. Therefore, the present study was intended to develop the standard formula to evaluate the stature of a person using ulnar length and shoulder elbow length in Bangladeshi adult population. The study was carried out on arbitrarily selected 300 healthy adult individuals (150 males and 150 females). At first, several statistical tests were applied to analyze the collected data. Then, sex-specific simple linear regression, stepwise regression, and multiple regression models were applied to develop the models for estimating the stature based on shoulder elbow length and ulnar length. The results showed the insignificant bilateral differences (p > 0.05) of the ulnar length and shoulder elbow length measurements in both sexes. The coefficients of correlation between stature and all measurements were significantly positive (p < 0.001). In this study, the ulnar length showed a better relationship with stature than shoulder elbow length in both sexes with a lower value SEE and higher values of R and R 2. Also, the multiple regression models gave better results than the simple and stepwise regression models due to higher R values and lower SEE. This study concludes that the ulnar length and the shoulder elbow length are significant parameters to estimate the stature in Bangladeshi adult's population.

“…Sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Prasad et al (2016), bahwa rata-rata tinggi badan seseorang bervariasi tiap negara dan wilayah yang berbeda pada tiap negara. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh faktor geografi, ras, genetik, pola makan, gaya hidup dan stres fisik yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan panjang tulang, walaupun berasal dari ras yang sama.…”

Forensic anthropology is the application of a specific branch of biological anthropology based on human bones and anatomy. Anthropometry is a method of measuring body parts. Height measurement is a forensic anthropological parameter that helps build a person's biological profile. Height can be determined by the size of the long bones including the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, and fibula. This research on height was carried out on Batak Toba students. This study aims to determine the anthropometric relationship of long bone length to the height of Batak Toba students in the city of Bekasi. This research is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. This research was conducted in the city of Bekasi with the research subjects totaling 60 students consisting of 30 men and 30 women with an age range of 18-22 years from the Toba Batak tribe who did not have bone disorders. Samples were taken by purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed by Pearson Correlation (r) test. The parameters analyzed in this study were length of humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, height, sitting height, weight, and body mass index. The results of the Pearson Correlation test analysis (r) showed that there is a significant relationship between the length of the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula and sitting height with a strong to perfect correlation, while the relationship between body mass index and height there is no significant difference and there is no correlation to Batak Toba students in the city of Bekasi.
