Abstract:
Objective Estimation of total body height is a major step
when a subject has to be identified from his/her skeletal
structures. In the presence of decomposed skeletons and
missing bones, estimation is usually based on regression
equation for intact long bones. If these bones are fragmented
or missing, alternative structures must be used. In
this study, the value of sacrum height (SH) in total body
height (TBH) estimation was investigated in a contemporary
population of adult Anatolian Caucasians.
