“…It thus seems plausible that vertebral dimensions could yield accurate stature estimates. To test this, several studies have measured the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and/or coccygeal segments (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) of cadaveric and living individuals of various population groups, and generated regression equations for stature in these populations. Generally, these equations have shown error margins of around 5 cm, which are somewhat higher than those produced by conventional stature estimation methods, but are still apparently useful in cases in which conventional methods are not applicable.…”

“…The L4-specific simple models were somewhat less accurate, with errors of 4.7-6.6 cm and 3.7-4.6 cm among men and women, respectively. In another recent study utilizing a sample of 42 Western male cadavers, Klein et al (11) measured various dimensions of L2-L5 (heights, depths, facet tip distance) by means of computed tomography, and reported SEEs of 5.9-6.7 cm. Specific results for L4 were not given as they were not among the most accurate predictors of stature.…”

 We present L4-based stature estimation equations for Northern Finns  In the pooled-sex sample, the most accurate equation yielded an error of 5.635 cm  Among men and women, the lowest errors were 5.125 and 4.640 cm, respectively  We suggest that L4 dimensions may be used to estimate stature relatively accurately ABSTRACT Background: Accurate stature estimation plays an essential role in the identification of unknown deceased individuals. For cases in which conventional methods of stature estimation are not applicable, we studied the stature estimation potential of the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) among a large living sample of

“…Some studies have focused on microscopic structures of bones such as the femur, tibia, fibula, iliac crest of the hip in cross-sectional images for age-related bone diseases (Liu et al, 1996;Jatti, 2012) using image processing techniques. Other reports have studied cervical and lumbar vertebrae for estimating sex (Badr EI Dine & El Shafei, 2015; and stature (Klein et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015) in CT and MRI. However, there are no studies on coarse bone anatomy with estimation of sex and stature by image analysis.…”

Although molecular techniques evolved considerably in last years, anthropological methods of assessing skeletal remains, continues to be an important tool in the identification process in medico legal investigations. The objective of this study was to develop a discriminant function equation for estimating sex and stature using several measurements of lumbar vertebrae in a Thai population. We studied 150 lumbar columns (75 male and 75 female) age range of 22 to 89 years from the Forensic Osteology Research Center, Chiang Mai University, Thailand. The quantitative variables with sex were analyzed by the discriminant function analysis and that with stature were calculated using linear regression. The pixel density of the major axis of the trabecular surface of superior endplate of the first lumbar vertebra had the most accuracy in sex determination. The regression equation with quantitative variables in stature estimation described 32.3 % of the total variance with standard error of estimate of 7.736 cm. Lumbar vertebrae can be used as part of the stature and sex quantitatively and qualitatively estimating in Thais incomplete skeletal remains.

Identification of unidentified living and dead human bodies can be carried out for the purposes of criminal investigation and other police duties. Among the most important information to identify one's identity is the one obtained from the results of measuring the victim's height. Thus, it is necessary to determine the height of a body of unidentified identity during the examination. To date, the correlation between the body height and vertebrae has not been widely known. The purpose of this present study was to determine the correlation between the body height and the length of the vertebrae. The study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January to July 2018. This was an observational analytical study on 57 samples consisting of 32 male and 25 female samples. Results indicated that the correlation between the vertebral length (thoracic vertebra (X1) and lumbar vertebra (X2)) and the body height as determined using the following equations: Y=47.428+2.991 X1+2.13 X 2 cm (male); Y=-32.496+3.800 X 1 +5.549 X 2 cm (female); show that there are quite strong when analyzed using t-test (r=0.799 for male and r=0.908 for female). In conclusions, this regression formula can be used in estimating the height found only in bones without other long bones.
