“…Corporobasal index: This index was more in females, however the difference was statistically insignificant. This was in contrast to Fawcett (1938) [30] (Whites & blacks), Davivongs, 1963 [20] (Australian Aborigines), Raju et al (1980) [37] (Varanasi), Ahankari & Ambali 2016 [38] 8 (Maharashtra) & Joshi et al, 2016 [16] (Maharashtra) who found the corporobasal index to be significantly more in males as compared to females [Table 5]. This discrepancy may be due to the smaller female sample size.…”

Background: Skeleton is an excellent investigating material in living and non-living population for genetic, anthropological and forensic purposes. Anatomical knowledge of human osteology, in the evaluation of death may help to shed light on legal issues such as sex and age determination, parentage and racial identity. With racial differences, it's difficult to implement a uniform method for determining sex. Therefore, the need for present study was felt. Many bones of skeleton present size related sexual differences, those of the pelvis usually displayed differences in morphology independent of size as the sex hormones influence the reproductive functions.In the present study an attempt has been made to arrive at appropriate metric data, regarding sex determination of North Indian pelves using indices calculated upon dry hip bones, sacrum & pelvis as a whole.

“…The results were consistent with that of previous studies. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The sacral index has the authenticity of 95% with respect to determination of sex and there is existence of variations of sacral index values among different populations secondary to differences in sacral morphometric parameters. The sacral index values for male and female sacra derived from the present study were clearly in conformity with most studies as tabulated in Table 5 i.e., studies of Mishra SR 5 , Mazumdar S 7 , Janipati P 8 , Somesh MS 10 and Masih WF 12 .…”

Determination of sex from human skeletal remains has always been a challenging task for Forensic experts, anthropologists etc. Bones can survive decomposition and decay for a very long time and therefore play a crucial role in identification of the deceased. The present study involved a total of 93 human sacra, of which 48 were of male sex and 45 are of female sex belonging to South Indian population. The Sacral Index for males was found to be 98.52 and for females 113.98. Females show higher Sacral Index compared to males. The study clearly proved Sacral Index as one of the highly dependable anthropological parameters for sex determination with respect to the studied population and therefore can be of a much reliable tool for Forensic medicine and Anthropological experts.

“…In addition to the use of pelvis morphometry in sexual dimorphism in dogs (Onodera et al, 1987;Sajjarengpong et al, 2003;Carrier, 2005;Nganvongpanit et al, 2017), there is no information about a sexual dimorphism related only to the sacrum similar to observed in humans. With the shape and morphometry, the sacrum has been the most commonly used bone, especially in humans (Ravalia and Wagh, 2015;Yadav et al, 2015;Ahankari and Ambali, 2016;Bajpai and Maiyyar, 2016;). In dogs, the assessments of this bone have been at a very limited level only in the pelvis studies (Onodera et al, 1987;Sajjarengpong et al, 2003;Carrier 2005;Nganvongpanit et al, 2017).…”

As being a component of the pelvis, it is a fact that this bone is effective to define sexual dimorphism similar to that in humans (Ravalia and Wagh, 2015;Yadav et al 2015;Ahankari and Ambali, 2016;Bajpai and Maiyyar, 2016). Sacrum in dogs has occurred through the constitution of three vertebrae (Evans and Christensen, 1979;Bahadır and Yıldız, 2010).…”

In this study, 59 adult canine sacrums, comprised of 30 male and 29 female, with 23 different breeds were used. A total of 5 osteometric measurements were taken from each of the sacrums and a total of 3 sacrum index indices were calculated using these measurements. Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean values of osteometric measurements in males and females (P<0.05). However, it was determined that the difference between the mean values of the index values of males and females was not statistically significant. Hence, although linear measurements are important in terms of revealing the difference in sexual size in dimorphism, it was concluded that it would be useful to reveal different indices to make different index calculations, especially in cases where sacrum width is foregrounded.
