Abstract
Estimation Of Stature From Head Length and Head Breadth-A Cross Sectional Study
Highlights
Stature or standing height is defined as the distance the head vertex and the standing surface
There are a few studies for stature estimation from skull alone
Adult Urhobo male has an average height of 172.5 cm and an adult Urhobo female has an average height of 161.7 cm [8]; while the mean stature of adult Ibo male is 167.6 cm and that of Ibo female is 163.2 cm [9].The mean stature of Turkish adults is 174.4 cm and 160.9 cm; that of Sri Lankans is 170.1 cm and 157.6 cm [10]; male Montenegrins are 183.2 cm tall while female Montenegrins are 168.4 cm tall making Montenegro the second tallest nation in the world after Netherlands [11]
Summary
Stature or standing height is defined as the distance the head vertex and the standing surface. Because it provides one piece of information that may be an aid in individual identification, stature prediction occupies a central position in anthropological research and forensic identification analysis in the events of accidents, murders, genocide or natural disasters. It occurs many a times when highly decomposed or mutilated bodies or fragmentary remains of skull are brought for medico-legal examination. Sometime only skull is brought for examination and this is most common in our region wherevictims are attacked by wild animals in deep forests In such situation it becomes difficult to identify deceased. This study was undertaken from maxillo-facial anthropometry using head length and the head breadth and formulate regression models for this purpose
