Author(s): Shaochen Liang*

Stature estimation holds significant importance within forensic osteology for identifying individuals from skeletal and dismembered remains. Forensic anthropologists face an evolving challenge in estimating stature due to secular changes in height trends, variations in long bone proportions, and global population migrations. Particularly in cases of mass disasters, establishing the identity of the deceased proves daunting for forensic experts. This research delved into examining the connection between stature and sternum length. Conducted at a prominent medical college and referral hospital in Western India, the study obtained data from 196 subjects with ethical clearance from the institutional clinical committee. The analysis revealed an ascending trend in the Area Under the Curve (AUC) as we move from manubrium to total sternal length via mesosternum. Likewise, .. Read More»
