We tested a new approach to the stature prediction that could be used in the identification process of human skeletal remains of unknown identity. The stature of 19 female and 21 male adult cadavers was measured within 24 h after death and considered to be equal to the living stature. The antero-posterior radiographs of all limbs were taken, and the maximum length of the six long bones was measured from radiographs. There was a significant difference in the stature and maximum length of long bones between female and male cadavers (p<0.001 for all). The correlation between the stature and long bone length was the best for the humerus in females (r=0.792) and the tibia in males (r=0.891). Regression equations specific to the Croatian population were computed separately for each long bone in males and females and proven to be reliable in predicting the living stature of the individual.
我们测试了一种新的身高预测方法,该方法可用于身份不明的人类骨骼遗骸的鉴定过程。在19具成年女性和21具成年男性尸体死亡后24小时内测量其身高,并将其视为生前身高。拍摄了所有四肢的前后位X线片,并从X线片上测量了六根长骨的最大长度。女性和男性尸体的身高及长骨最大长度存在显著差异(所有p<0.001)。女性中身高与长骨长度的相关性以肱骨最佳(r=0.792),男性中以胫骨最佳(r=0.891)。针对克罗地亚人群,分别计算了男性和女性各长骨的回归方程,并证明在预测个体生前身高方面是可靠的。
