“…Torimitsu et al [29] studied on a Japanese population and reported the larger value of stature, In corpse of the Japanese population by Tormitsu et al [29], it was found that the mean right-ulnar length was 24.16 cm in males and 22.16 cm in females, whereas mean left ulnar length was 24.09 cm in males and 22.04 cm in females. In a study on a city south-east of Iran by Borhani-Haghighi et al [34], it was found that the mean left ulnar length was 29.17 cm in males and 26.47 cm in females. In a study carried out by Okai et al [30] on the Ghanaian students, the mean ulnar length was 29.80 cm in males and 27.3 cm in females.…”

“…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.

“…Similar were the observations by Bamne et al and Ashish Pande. 5,6,10,11 In the study by Anjali Prasad et al, gender differences in mean height and length of ulna were found to be highly significant and mean ulna lengths of the male were significantly larger than that of the females of all ages. The mean value of length of right and left ulna is statistically insignificant in males and also in females correlating with our study.…”

Stature is a important factor in identification of an unidentified dead body or any mutilated part of such body. In present study we made an attempt to estimate the stature from percutaneous length of ulna. Study consists of 94 adult males and 96 adult females between the age group of 18-24 years, born and brought up in Maharashtra. The length of the of the right and left ulna was measured with a venier calliper from the apex of the olecranon to the styloid process and the height of the individual was measured with a calibrated standing meter rule. The measurements were noted in the proforma. The data was statistically analyzed and linear regression formulae were derived.

“…In this regard, some other studies were performed to investigate reliable stature formulae according to long bone length. It had been understood that stature equations differ based on various factors such as gender, ethnic group, and study methods (19)(20)(21)(22). Madden et al (2012) claimed that their formula for assessing the height based on the length of ulna correlated closely with the actual height in white participants, while it had failed to provide an accurate assessment of the actual height in black and Asian participants (4).…”

Background: Height is an important factor for medical, nutrition, and forensic sciences; nevertheless, measuring proves to be a challenging task in some cases. In this respect, an alternative immediate, accurate, and possible anthropometric evaluation is needed. Objectives: This study was set to find a proper formula to estimate height from the lengths of the ulna and tibia in Iranian adults. Methods: A total of 500 healthy males and females aged 20-40 years were randomly selected from the volunteers’ pool for this cross-sectional study. Ulna and tibia lengths and standing heights were measured according to standard protocols. Ulna and tibia lengths were applied to find a reliable equation to predict stature accurately. Data were statistically analyzed by SPSS version 17 using regression, curve estimation, and linear model. Results: The mean (SD) heights of male and female participants were 176.45 (11.98) cm and 161.29 (10.11) cm, respectively, while the right and left ulna and the right and left tibia were 29.05 (1.63) cm, 29.03 (1.44) cm, 38.86 (1.33) cm, and 38.88 (1.25) cm, respectively. The correlation coefficients of r = 0.80 and r = 0.69 for males and females participants’ right ulna, respectively, showed a significant correlation with height. Hence, the new formula provided reliable results for stature estimation for northern Iran subgroups. Conclusions: Equations based based on right ulna length are more reliable and accurate for height prediction in both genders. It should be considered that these equations could be different among ethnically diverse populations, even in the northern Iranian population.
