Abstract

Objectives An important task of the forensic anthropologist in unidentified human remains cases is establishing the identity of the deceased. A forensic anthropologist typically examines the remains in such a case to determine the biological characteristics of the deceased, such as their age, sex, height, and ethnicity, to narrow down the search for the missing. The purpose of this study was the comparison stature estimation from foot, forearm and hand length between Iranian and Pakistani students. Methods Our measurement procedure involved measuring the foot, forearm and hand lengths of 160 Iranian and 200 Pakistani students. A random sampling of 18 to 22-year-olds was used to carry out the survey. Cluster sampling was used to select the subjects for the present descriptive and analytic study. In order to measure the anthropometrics, we used metal and plastic tape, a goniometer, a caliper, and a scale. Foot forearm and hand measurements were taken separately. Results The mean ± SD of the stature were 178.228 ± 6.319 cm and 167.610 ± 7.580 cm in Pakistani males and females, respectively, and in Iranian males and females were 180.446 ± 5.569 cm and 164.435 ± 5.072 cm, respectively. In both Pakistani and Iranian populations, the regression model is meaningful (P = 0.000), except for Pakistani male students' foot length (P = 0.107) and Iranian female students' hand length (P = 0.102). Conclusion We found that the foot, forearms, and hand length are correlated with height. Therefore, they can be used for estimating stature.
伊朗和巴基斯坦医学生前臂、手长和脚长估算身高的比较
目的鉴定身份是法医人类学家在鉴定身份不明的人类遗骸案件中的一项重要工作。法医人类学家通常会对这种情况下的遗骸进行检查,以确定死者的生物学特征,如年龄、性别、身高和种族,从而缩小对失踪人员的搜索范围。本研究的目的是比较伊朗和巴基斯坦学生从脚、前臂和手的长度估计的身高。方法测量160名伊朗学生和200名巴基斯坦学生的脚、前臂和手的长度。随机抽取了18至22岁的年轻人进行调查。采用整群抽样来选择本研究的描述性和分析性研究的对象。为了测量人体测量学,我们使用了金属和塑料胶带、测角仪、卡尺和秤。分别测量足、前臂和手的尺寸。结果巴基斯坦男性和女性身高的平均±SD分别为178.228±6.319 cm和167.610±7.580 cm,伊朗男性和女性身高的平均±SD分别为180.446±5.569 cm和164.435±5.072 cm。在巴基斯坦和伊朗人群中,除了巴基斯坦男学生的脚长(P = 0.107)和伊朗女学生的手长(P = 0.102),回归模型都是有意义的(P = 0.000)。结论发现足部、前臂和手的长度与身高相关。因此,它们可以用来估计身高。
