“…It thus seems plausible that vertebral dimensions could yield accurate stature estimates. To test this, several studies have measured the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and/or coccygeal segments (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) of cadaveric and living individuals of various population groups, and generated regression equations for stature in these populations. Generally, these equations have shown error margins of around 5 cm, which are somewhat higher than those produced by conventional stature estimation methods, but are still apparently useful in cases in which conventional methods are not applicable.…”

“…Several previous studies have investigated the accuracy of stature estimation on the basis of lumbar vertebrae. In a recent study of 412 Chinese living men and women, Zhang et al (10) used computed radiography to measure the anterior, posterior and central heights of L1-L5. Their multiple regression models of L1-L5 yielded SEEs of 4.1-4.7 cm among men, and 3.0-3.8 cm among women.…”

 We present L4-based stature estimation equations for Northern Finns  In the pooled-sex sample, the most accurate equation yielded an error of 5.635 cm  Among men and women, the lowest errors were 5.125 and 4.640 cm, respectively  We suggest that L4 dimensions may be used to estimate stature relatively accurately ABSTRACT Background: Accurate stature estimation plays an essential role in the identification of unknown deceased individuals. For cases in which conventional methods of stature estimation are not applicable, we studied the stature estimation potential of the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) among a large living sample of

The Han Chinese people are the main ethnic group in China and the largest ethnic group in the world. The dimensions of the hands and feet have been successfully used for the estimation of stature. A total of 26,927 healthy adult subjects, comprising 13,221 men and 13,706 women, were recruited. The survey samples were chosen through random cluster sampling. The mean values were significantly higher in men than those in women for all measurements (P<0.001). All the measurements showed a statistically significant correlation with stature (P<0.01). The combination of the right hand length and the right foot length was the best predictor of stature because it had the lowest standard error of estimate. The use of multiple regression equations yielded better results than did the use of linear regression equations. The accuracy of stature prediction ranged from ±4.81 to ±6.39 cm. The present study was of great importance with regards to improving the physical anthropology database of ethnic groups in China.stature, forensic anthropology, anthropometry, foot length, foot width, Han Chinese Citation:

Computed tomography (CT) has influenced numerous fields since its inception in the 1970s. The field of palaeoanthropology significantly benefited from this efficient and non-invasive medium in terms of the conservation, reconstruction and analysis of fossil human remains. Over the past decade, there has been a steady increase in the number of forensic anthropological studies incorporating virtual osteological analyses. Because of the increasing importance of these modern cross-sectional imaging techniques and the requirement for standardized parameters in forensic science, we deemed it important to outline the history and development of CT applications in these related academic areas. The present paper outlines the history of “virtual anthropology” and osteological multi-detector CT in the context of palaeoanthropology and forensic anthropology.
