“…Measurements were used for stature reconstruction and statistical analyses indicated that bilateral variation is insignificant for all measurements except maximum length of condyle in the southern Chinese population with a p value less than 0.01 and that the northern and southern populations differ significantly only in the minimum distance between condyles. Linear and multiple regression equations for stature estimation were established in this study [ 39 ].…”

Purpose. The structural integrity of foramen magnum is usually preserved in fire accidents and explosions due to its resistant nature and secluded anatomical position and this study attempts to determine its sexing potential. Methods. The sagittal and transverse diameters and area of foramen magnum of seventy-two skulls (41 male and 31 female) from south Indian population were measured. The analysis was done using Student's t-test, linear correlation, histogram, Q-Q plot, and Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) to obtain a model for sex determination. The predicted probabilities of BLR were analysed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Result. BLR analysis and ROC curve revealed that the predictability of the dimensions in sexing the crania was 69.6% for sagittal diameter, 66.4% for transverse diameter, and 70.3% for area of foramen. Conclusion. The sexual dimorphism of foramen magnum dimensions is established. However, due to considerable overlapping of male and female values, it is unwise to singularly rely on the foramen measurements. However, considering the high sex predictability percentage of its dimensions in the present study and the studies preceding it, the foramen measurements can be used to supplement other sexing evidence available so as to precisely ascertain the sex of the skeleton.

“…The cadaveric length was measured in the supine position between the vertex of the head and the heel with a steel measuring tape to the nearest 0.1 cm [20,24]. To this a correction factor of 2.5 cm was applied as illustrated by Trotter and Gleser as a measure of living standing height [24].…”

“…Stature estimation from foramen magnum measurements has received recent consideration. Very few studies have been performed for stature estimation from the foramen magnum [20][21][22][23]. Most of these studies have focused on stature estimation from dry and macerated foramen magnum.…”

Ocena wzrostu jest jednym z ważnych wczesnych etapów analizy kryminalistycznej pozostałości ludzkiego szkieletu. Celem badania było uzyskanie wzoru regresji liniowej do szacowania wzrostu na podstawie pomiarów otworu potylicznego wielkiego w populacji środkowych Indii. Badaniami objęto 81 męskich i 55 żeńskich zwłok przywiezionych w celu wykonania sekcji zwłok. Równania regresji liniowej wyprowadzono z długości (FML), szerokości (FMB) i powierzchni (FMA) otworu potylicznego wielkiego. Model regresji przewidywał 95% przedział ufności ± 11,1 cm, ± 10,4 i ± 10,5 cm oraz współczynnik korelacji wynoszący odpowiednio 0,69, 0,75 i 0,74 dla długości, szerokości i powierzchni otworu potylicznego wielkiego u mężczyzn. Podobnie, model regresji przewidywał 95% przedział ufności ± 13,4 cm, ± 11,4 cm i ± 12,8 cm oraz współczynnik korelacji 0,45, 0,68 i 0,57 dla długości, szerokości i powierzchni otworu potylicznego wielkiego u kobiet. Wzory regresji oparte na pomiarach otworu wielkiego są związane z nieco większym błędem standardowym niż te oparte na długościach kości długich. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że pomiary otworu potylicznego wielkiego w zależności od wzrostu ciała wykazują silną dodatnią korelację, stosunkowo umiarkowaną wiarygodność szacowania wzrostu oraz mają pewną wartość kryminalistyczną.

Stature estimation is an important component of the biological profile. Human crania are sometimes recovered in the absence of other skeletal material in forensic casework, and stature estimation equations using cranial measurements have not been developed for populations in the United States. Both simple and multiple regression equations for estimating stature were developed from standard cranial measurements taken from both a cranial CT dataset and the Forensic Data Bank, and the resulting equations were tested using a separate dataset. A weak to moderate correlation with stature was found for some of the measurements tested. Tests of the sex- and ancestry-specific equations and pooled sex equations produced accurate estimated stature ranges for most of the individuals in the test dataset, but large 95% confidence intervals (±14-16cm) for these equations can produce only an imprecise estimated stature range for an unidentified individual. Pooled ancestry equations also produced accurate estimated stature ranges for many of the individuals in the test dataset, but with even larger 95% confidence intervals (±18-20cm). The results of this study indicate that stature can be estimated using cranial measurements, but the resulting 95% confidence intervals produce stature ranges that are too broad to use in most forensic casework.
