Abstract
Anthropometry provides the scientific methods and techniques for estimating the various measurements and observations on the living as well as the skeleton of man. The ultimate aim of usinganthropometry in forensic medicine science is to helpthe law enforcement agencies in achieving’ personalidentify’ in case ofunknown human remains.
The stature prediction occupies relatively a central position in the anthropometric research.It is well known that there is a definite relationship between the height of the person and various parts of the body .Stature estimation usually based on measurement of long bones.
The ulna length has been shown to be a reliable andprecise means in predicting the stature of an individual.
The present study was designed to investigate and establish a relationship between the percutaneousulna length and height of an individual as a tool for forensic anthropometry.
The study has been carried out in Sohag governorate, in faculty of medicine, in forensic medicine and clinical toxicology department. With a total number of 200 healthy volunteer adults (100males & 100 females).The age group of 20-30 years was selected and their Height and length of right and left ulna were recorded.
Ulnalengths were taken independently on left and right sides ofeach individual using a digital sliding caliper capable ofmeasuring to the nearest 0.01 mm
All the measurements are recorded by the same person to minimize the errors inmethodology. Each measurement was taken thrice and themean was taken for further analysis. Results were expressedas mean and standared deviation and analyzed using a statistical package of social sciences(15th version).
from the the present study, it was proved that :
1. Mean height and length of ulna is more in males than in females.
2. Gender differences in mean height and length of ulna werefound to be highly significant.
3. There is positive correlation between stature and length of ulna.
4. Simple linear regression equation was derived it can be used forestimation of height in sohag governorate.
5. If either of the measurement ( length of ulna or total height ) isknown, the other can be calculated.
6. This fact will be of practical use in medico legal investigationsand in anthropometry. The present study would be useful for anthropologist and forensic medicine experts.
