“…It is noteworthy that these were preliminary studies, which require further research for validation. Additionally, a study on the Japanese population used a relatively big sample size (n = 434), which is commendable (Hasegawa et al 2009). …”

“…Most researchers used direct measurements on bones such as the Terry's collection (Hunt and Albanese 2005), Dart's collection (Dayal et al 2009), Giraudi's collection (Giraudi et al 1984) and Hamann-Todd's collection (Mensforth and Latimer 1989). Recent studies used x-ray and scan due to the new upcoming technology and availability of skeletal collections (Muñoz et al 2001;Sarajlić et al 2006;Petrovečki et al 2007;Hasegawa et al 2009;Amal Hayati et al 2011;Farsinejad et al 2014). The most advanced method was to perform post mortem computed tomography (PMCT), as it is in line with the growing use of virtual autopsy worldwide (Giurazza et al 2012;Giurazza et al 2013;Torimitsu et al 2014aTorimitsu et al , 2014bHishmat et al 2015;Zhang et al 2015).…”

Background: Stature is one of the important aspects of biological profile for an unknown individual in forensic anthropology. As stature is population-specific, this study was conducted in Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Tapah and Hospital Kampar to develop regression for stature estimation in the Malaysian population. About 90 subjects from 23 to 47 years old were selected for radiography of upper limbs. The standing height of the subject was measured beforehand for each subject. The maximum length of the bones was measured on the x-ray film in cm, and analysis was performed by SPSS version 23. Results: Results showed significant correlations between stature and upper limb bones (p < 0.05). There was significant difference between males and females in stature (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference found in stature among age and demic groups (p > 0.05). About eight regression equations were developed, of which three for single bone and one in combination of three bones in males and females. The regression equations with combination of bones showed the highest correlation coefficient (r). However, these regression equations are not suitable yet to be used practically in Malaysian population due to high standard error of estimates. Conclusion: In brief, the research study has to be validated with a larger sample size to represent the Malaysian population.

“…These statistically significant differences may be attributed to the early maturity of girls than boys. These were in accordance with results of Ozaslan., et al and Krishan and Sharma [6,14].Hormonal, genetic and environmental factors are effective in occurring of physical characteristics between sexes; Age of puberty being 2years later in males as compared with females giving them extra time for growth [26,27].…”

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.

Highlight1) The stature using anatomical landmark (adductor tubercle) shows high coefficient of determination.2) The regression equations using partial femur measurement show reliable estimated stature.3) One formula could be used to estimate the cadaver's stature in spite of sex difference.Stature estimation from anatomical landmarks in femur using postmortem CT Abstract Objective: The present study aims to assess the correlation between stature and partial femur measurements in Japanese population, using three-dimensional ( Results: Using a mixed-sex regression formula, the R 2 was from 0.644 to 0.766 and actual difference was less than 4.6 cm.Conclusion: Present study showed that femur length measurements, according to the anatomical landmarks obtained from 3DCT VR images, were useful for estimation of the stature, particularly in cases when a total femur bone was not available.
