“…Sexual dimorphism may be related to muscular activity and development in males than females. This is in agreement with Giurazza et al [2] in Caucasian population; Torimitsu et al [4] in Japanese population; Zhang et al [17] in Chinese population; and Paulis and Abu Samra [7] in Egyptian population.…”

“…In addition, the right scapular breadth and maximum scapular height have the highest accuracy (82%) followed by glenoid cavity height and breadth (76% each); while in the left side the scapular breadth has the highest accuracy (82%) followed by the maximum scapular height and length of the spine (78% each). This is in accord with Giurazza et al [2]; Zhang et al [17]; Paulis and AbuSamra [7]; who mentioned that transverse length or morphological breadth had the highest accuracy. On contrary, Torimitsu et al [4] in Japan and Papaioannou et al [1] in Greek population stated that the maximum scapular height had the highest accuracy.…”

“…Previous studies were done on determination of sex from scapula in different populations using either skeletal remains [1,3,[10][11][12][13][14][15], digital photographs [5,16] or multi -slice computed tomography (CT) [2,4,7,17,18] on different age groups and using different measurements. To the best of our insight, this Egyptian study is an interesting one which uses both scapulae in the determination of sex in Egyptians with different dimensions and different age group.…”

“…Further tests using a larger and more diverse sample will provide insight into different sexual dimorphism degrees of expression for various geographical areas within the same country. CT-scans have been used successfully for sex estimation -both morphological and metric analysis-on other bones [31,32] and for disaster victim identification [33] demonstrating their value as a forensic tool.…”

Sexual dimorphic variation between populations must be taken into consideration when applying existing methods on unrelated samples. Validation studies are extremely important to avoid misclassification and ensure high quality standards.This paper presents a test of a Southern European metric method on Greek-Cypriots (N=132) and Turkish (N=203). Three tibia measurements were taken, sex differences were explored using a Wilcoxon test and the parameters were applied to the original discriminant functions.The results showed accuracy rates ranging from 79 to 86% for Greek-Cypriots and from 80 to 88% for Turkish. Differences in the performance of the formulae applied were observed between the samples. Correct classification rates are very similar to the ones reported by the original method.This study demonstrates that the application of the Southern European method to estimate sex on these two Mediterranean populations is reliable. A larger and more diverse sample is required to verify our results.

“…Several studies have been conducted on the estimation of sex from scapula [10][11][12][13][14][15], where various human groups displayed different skeletal features depending on their geographical areas and genetic pattern [5,16]. These studies had used either dry skeletal collection [12][13][14] or multi-slice computed tomography (CT) for sex estimation [10,11,15,17]. Over the recent decades, multi-slice CT has been extensively used in forensic anthropology.…”

Objective: Sex estimation is one of the crucial steps for human identification, which is evident in cases of commingled, eroded, and/or missing remains. When pelvis or skull are unavailable, scapula has been used as an alternative bone for determining sex. Besides, the scapula was shown to be population-specific in several studies. Limited dry bone collections in Malaysia have led to various recommendations of virtual anthropology studies of bone in human identification. The aims of this study were to investigate the sexual dimorphism of the scapula using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging and to generate population-specific equations for sex determination in the Malaysian population. Methods:A total of 66 CT thorax images of 33 males and 33 females were taken. Morphological breadth (MB) and morphological length (ML) on bilateral scapulae were measured on 3D CT reconstructed images. Independent t-test and discriminant function analysis (DFA) were performed for analysis.Results: Results revealed that both parameters showed sexual dimorphism of scapula but displayed no difference between the right and left scapulae. DFA showed that MB and ML had high accuracy for sex estimation. The equations were highly accurate when both parameters were used in combination, followed by MB only and ML only, in that sequence. Conclusion:In brief, scapula measurements may be useful for forensic assessment of sex in the Malaysian population.
