In order to estimate the stature from the length of the lumbar part of spine (LLPS), studies were made on Japanese males (n = 42) and females (n = 29) autopsied in our laboratory during 1984-1987. Somatometry was performed on the stature and LLPS in centimetres, the latter being measured from the upper edge of the first lumbar vertebral body, to the promonitorium, along the anterior surface of the spine. LLPS were 19.9 +/- 1.19 cm in males and 18.6 +/- 0.84 cm in females (mean +/- S.D.). The regression equations calculated were as follows: stature in males = LLPS x 3.23 + 101.7; stature in females = LLPS x 2.31 + 110.8. The standard errors of estimate were 6.16 cm in males and 4.05 cm in females. This method is useful for estimating the stature of severely burned or mutilated bodies which have no limbs.
为了根据腰椎长度（LLPS）估算身高，对1984年至1987年期间在我们实验室进行尸检的日本男性（n = 42）和女性（n = 29）进行了研究。对身高和LLPS进行了人体测量，单位为厘米，后者是从第一腰椎椎体上缘沿脊柱前表面测量至骶岬。男性的LLPS为19.9±1.19厘米，女性为18.6±0.84厘米（平均值±标准差）。计算出的回归方程如下：男性身高 = LLPS×3.23 + 101.7；女性身高 = LLPS×2.31 + 110.8。男性的估计标准误差为6.16厘米，女性为4.05厘米。该方法对于估算没有四肢的严重烧伤或残缺尸体的身高很有用。
