Stature estimation is a commonly used parameter in identification searched by medico-legal experts and forensic anthropologists. To estimate stature; measurements of hand length (HL), hand breadth (HB), wrist breath (WB), foot length (FL), foot breadth (FB) and ankle breadth (AB) were used in this study. It was aimed to predict most useful variables and to perform formulas originated from those variables significantly correlated to stature. Measurements were obtained from 356 volunteers. The best correlation value among 6 searched variables were detected in foot dimensions as FL variable for males r=0.696 and for females r=0.496 and in hand dimensions as HL variable for males r=0.578 and for females r=0.309, respectively. The least estimation error in stature prediction was achieved with using all variables in defined regression equations. Lengths measurements belong to hand and foot dimensions were more useful parameters than breadth measurements of those in stature estimation.

“…The range of variations of mean arithmetic values of body ratio h šr /h is from minimal 0.20 (male and female students up to 29 years) up to the maximum 0.23 (male tram drivers from 40 up to 49 years). Static anthropometric measure biacromial range (shoulder width) h šr have to be measured for all respondents divided into age groups from target population of drivers, and the mean arithmetic value of body ratio h šr /h cannot be used for simplified calculation of the value of anthropometric measure h šr only by knowing the value of body height h. The available studies [10] also indicate very weak correlations (r = 0.42) between bi-acromial range (shoulder width) and body height h in males (r = 0.42), which means that there are no linear functional dependences hšr=hšr(h).…”

A total of 10 anthropometric measures were taken from a sample of 21 male tram drivers of ZET Zagreb, from a sample of 39 male students of the University of Zagreb, as well as from a sample of 48 female students of the University of Zagreb, out of which the mean arithmetic values of body segment ratios were determined. According to the scientific findings that body height decreases with age, male tram drivers were divided by age into three groups. Some of the calculated mean arithmetic values of body segment ratios h i /h for individual anthropometric measures h i in relation to the body height h have been compared with theoretical values of body ratios calculated by harmonic analysis by Zerderbauer and Muftić and the golden section, and it is obvious that there are no big differences in values. Body ratios h mdr /h and h ndr /h can be used for simplified calculation of anthropometric measures h mdr and h ndr only by knowing the value of body height h, during the control panel design in tram cab or train cab, because body ratios h mdr /h and h ndr /h do not depend on gender, age and occupation for adult respondents from Croatia.

“…A large number of anthropometric and osteometric studies have been dedicated to the estimation of stature from various parts of the body given that human remains recovered from modern forensic contexts, such as mass disasters or crimes involving dismemberment, are often incomplete or in poor condition. Recent anthropometric investigations have considered lengths of the upper and lower extremities 1−4 , bi-iliocristal breadth 5 , inter-anterior superior iliac spinous distance 6 , bi-acromial breadth 5 , and dimensions of the hands 7−9 and feet 10−13 . Likewise, recent osteometric studies have assessed the utility of the long bones of the limbs 14−18 and their fragments 19−21 , as well as dimensions of the metacarpals 22 , metatarsals 23−25 , scapula 26 , sternum 27−30 , vertebral column 31−33 , cranium 34−38 and dentition 39 .…”

Only one study to date has explored the potential of innominate measurements for the estimation of stature in forensic contexts. The acetabulum, however, is among the skeletal regions most resistant to the processes of destruction and often survives intact. In this investigation, diameter, area and perimeter dimensions of the acetabulum were recorded from digital photographs in a documented French sample, consisting of 36 males and 33 females. Linear regression equations for estimating stature were then generated for each dimension in both males and females. Correlation coefficients for the models ranged from r = 0.401 to r = 0.474, and standard error of the estimate (SEE) values were between 5.7 cm and 6.1 cm. The highest correlation coefficients in both sexes were observed for the diameter of the acetabulum. These results indicate that acetabular dimensions should only be used for stature estimation when more accurate bones are unavailable for analysis.
