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:

“…In particular, the SEE values calculated using longitudinal scapular length (LSL) were less than 5 cm regardless of sex, indicating the feasibility of stature estimations probably higher than the within-sex correlation values because of sex differences. Previous studies revealed that male subjects are taller than female subjects in all populations because of the later onset of puberty and the later fusion of the epiphyses in males [26,27]. However, the sex of severely decomposed or skeletonized human remains is usually unknown.…”

Stature estimation in Japanese cadavers based on scapular measurements using multidetector computed tomography

et al. 2014

This study assessed the correlation between stature and scapular measurements in a Japanese population, using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic (CT) images, and derived regression equations for predicting stature. A total of 194 cadavers (100 males 94 females) underwent postmortem CT (PMCT) and subsequent forensic autopsy in our department between May 2011 and April 2014. Left and right longitudinal scapular lengths (LLSL and RLSL, respectively) and left and right transverse scapular lengths (LTSL and RTSL, respectively) were measured on 3D CT reconstructed images that extracted only scapular data. The correlation between stature and each of the scapular measurements were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. The four variables correlated significantly with stature, regardless of sex. The LLSL measurement had the lowest standard error of estimation value among all subjects (4.22 cm) and among all females (4.37 cm), whereas the RLSL measurement had the lowest standard error of estimation value among all males (3.75 cm). The results of this study indicate that scapular measurements may be useful for the forensic estimation of the stature of Japanese individuals, particularly in cases where better predictors, such as long bone lengths, are unavailable.

Stature of an individual has an important role in identification, which is often required in medico-legal practice. The estimation of stature is an important step in the identification of dismembered remains or when only a part of a skeleton is only available as in major disasters or with mutilation. There is no published data on anthropological data among Jordanian population. The present study was designed in order to find out relationship of stature to some anthropometric measures among a sample of Jordanian population and to determine the most accurate and reliable one in predicting the stature of an individual.
