简要总结
This study, conducted on 385 participants aged 21 to 30 years from the MAHE institute in the South Indian population, analysed the relationship between body measurements, stature, and sex using SPSS. Measurements such as shoulder height, shoulder breadth, hip breadth, popliteal height, and knee height were used. Data normality was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and comparisons based on sex were performed using independent t-tests for parametric data and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric data. Bilateral asymmetry between the right and left sides was evaluated using paired t-tests and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Stature estimation equations were developed using simple andmultiple linear regression, while logistic regression was applied to predict sex based on body measurements. The findings provide a reliable framework for estimating stature and identifying sex, which can be crucial in mass disasters to help identify individuals.

Indian population.
时间窗: May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months )
次要结局
- Determination of Stature and Sex is important in forensics to identify the individual(May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months ))
- Estimating stature and sex using anthropometry measurements in forensic science is essential for identifying unknown remains, building a biological profile, and aiding criminal investigations. It helps narrow down possible identities, exclude unlikely matches, and analyze trauma patterns, which is especially useful in cases of fragmented remains or mass disasters.(May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months ))
