背景:身材是个人外表的关键要素,可以帮助建立他们的身份。在身体被广泛肢解的情况下,分解,或者减少到骨骼遗骸,身材成为通过测量骨骼遗骸来识别未知物的重要组成部分。它的估计依赖于一个人的身高与特定的身体部位和长骨有明确的线性关系的原则。这个过程,在评估年龄的同时,性别,种族构成了人类学协议的基本组成部分。身高估计可以通过解剖学和数学方法来实现。本研究明确定义了从手指长度估计身高的回归模型。得出的公式可以证明在医学法律场景中特别有价值,因为它可以有效地应用,即使只有身体的一部分是可访问的。
目的:本研究的目的是通过测量食指和无名指的长度来估计个体的身材。
方法:当前的研究获得了三个测量值,比如身材,右/左食指长度(RIFL/LIFL),和无名指长度(RFL),从220个样本中,包括110名男性和110名女性,分别,年龄在20到60岁之间。
结果:食指和无名指的长度在法医调查中的应用具有重要意义,因为它们具有作为个体身高可靠预测指标的潜力。根据研究结果,男性的身材明显高于女性。在身材和手指长度(IFL,RFL)双手。女性左侧RFL(r=0.688)和男性LIFL(r=0.552)的相关系数最高。此外,男性的指数和RFL明显长于女性。还成功地得出了用于从无名指和食指长度估计身高的线性回归模型。
结论:从本研究中获得的结果具有潜在的用途,可用于评估测量指标和RFL在确定身高和通过使用这些参数预测回归模型精度方面的实用性。从这项研究中得出的模型可以作为确凿的证据,用于识别残缺的身体部位或未知的遗骸。
BACKGROUND: Stature contributes as a crucial element of an individual\'s physical appearance and can be instrumental in establishing their identity. In cases where the body is extensively mutilated, decomposed, or reduced to skeletal remains, stature becomes an essential component in identifying the unknown by means of measuring the skeletal remains. Its estimation relies on the principle that an individual\'s height has a definite and linear relationship with specific body parts and long bones. This process, together with assessing age, sex, and race constitutes the essential components of the anthropological protocol. Stature estimation can be accomplished through both anatomical and mathematical approaches. The present study clearly defines regression models for height estimation from finger lengths. The formula derived can prove particularly valuable in Medico-legal scenarios, as it can be applied effectively even when only a portion of the body is accessible.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study is to estimate the stature of individuals by measuring the length of the index and ring fingers.
METHODS: The current study acquired three measurements, such as stature, right/left index finger length (RIFL/LIFL), and ring finger length (RFL), from 220 samples, including 110 males and 110 females, respectively, between the age groups of 20 and 60 years.
RESULTS: The application of the length of the index and ring finger in forensic investigations holds significance due to their potential as reliable predictors of an individual\'s height. According to the findings of the study, males showed significantly higher stature than females. A statistically significant correlation was also observed (p-value = 0) between stature and finger lengths (IFL, RFL) in both hands. The highest correlation coefficients were found for the left RFL (r = 0.688) in females and the LIFL (r = 0.552) in males. Additionally, males showed significantly longer index and RFL than females. Linear regression models for the estimation of stature from ring and index finger length were also derived successfully.
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained from the present study exhibit potential use to evaluate the utility of measuring index and RFLs for determining stature and predicting the precision of regression models by employing those parameters. The models derived from this study can serve as corroborative evidence for identifying mutilated body parts or unknown remains.
