Abstract

BackgroundIn a previous report, we investigated whether the size of male genitalia similarly exposed to serum testosterone during aging could change with age and found that penile length almost stopped increasing during adolescence and decreased in older males. In this report, to determine what factors other than age are related to penile length, we performed a multivariate analysis of the relationships between stretched penile length (SPL) and other measurements of genital organs, nose size, height and body weight in 126 adults in their 30s–50s.ResultsThe most highly correlated factor with SPL was flaccid penile length (r = 0.565, P < 0.0001). The next highest correlation was nose size (r = 0.564, P < 0.0001). The penile stretched rate correlated with FPL (r = − 0.690, P < 0.0001) but not with SPL or penile circumference.ConclusionsThe fact that nose size is related to SPL indicates that penile length may not be determined by age, height or body weight but has already been determined before birth.

Highlights

In a previous report, we investigated whether the size of male genitalia exposed to serum testosterone during aging could change with age and found that penile length almost stopped increasing during adolescence and decreased in older males
The highest correlation was noted for stretched penile length and nose size (r = 0.564, p < 0.0001)
The penile stretch rate was highly correlated with the flaccid penile length (r = − 0.690, p < 0.0001) but not with the stretched penile length or penile circumference

Summary

Introduction

We investigated whether the size of male genitalia exposed to serum testosterone during aging could change with age and found that penile length almost stopped increasing during adolescence and decreased in older males. In Japan, with a population of 120 million, approximately 1000 people are discovered annually as unidentified cadavers, and the police are required to investigate these cases. In their initial investigations of unidentified corpses, the police seek to identify them using factors, such as age and gender, as well as by their belongings. These dead bodies are often thought to be skeletons or highly decayed. It is very difficult to estimate age based on cadaver appearance
