Sex and stature estimations from dry femurs of Northeastern Thais: Using a logistic and linear regression approach
Background
Sex determination and stature estimation from skeletal remains are still crucial components in creating biological profiles in forensic anthropology. The femur is particularly valuable due to its high sexual dimorphism and correlation with stature. This study aimed to develop sex estimation models and stature reconstruction equations using femoral measurements in a Northeastern Thai population.
Materials and method
The 400 dry femora were measured for its six parameters including femur maximum length (FL), femoral shaft length (FSL), femur epicondylar breadth (FEB), femur maximum head diameter (FHD), femur midshaft circumference (FMC) and femur weight (FW). Then all parameters were analyzed by using logistic regression for sex estimation and linear regression for stature reconstruction.
Results
Results showed significant sexual dimorphism across all measured parameters, with FHD being the best predictor of sex (correction rate, 88.5 %). The optimized multivariate model achieved the highest accuracy (91.0 %). For stature estimation, sex-specific equations demonstrated superior accuracy compared to combined-sex models. The FL and FSL showed the strongest correlations with stature.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated the importance of population-specific standards in forensic anthropology of the femur's reliability as a valuable tool for both sex determination and stature estimation. These results contribute significantly to forensic practice in Thailand, enhancing the accuracy of biological profile reconstruction in medicolegal investigations.
期刊介绍:
Translational Research in Anatomy is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal that publishes high-quality original papers. Focusing on translational research, the journal aims to disseminate the knowledge that is gained in the basic science of anatomy and to apply it to the diagnosis and treatment of human pathology in order to improve individual patient well-being. Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences: • gross anatomy • neuroanatomy • histology • immunohistochemistry • comparative anatomy • embryology • molecular biology • microscopic anatomy • forensics • imaging/radiology • medical education Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care.Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research. The journal accepts the following article types: 1. Review articles 2. Original research papers 3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation 4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy) 5. Commentaries 6. Letters to the Editor 7. Selected conference papers 8. Case Reports
