Highlight1) The stature using anatomical landmark (adductor tubercle) shows high coefficient of determination.2) The regression equations using partial femur measurement show reliable estimated stature.3) One formula could be used to estimate the cadaver's stature in spite of sex difference.Stature estimation from anatomical landmarks in femur using postmortem CT Abstract Objective: The present study aims to assess the correlation between stature and partial femur measurements in Japanese population, using three-dimensional ( Results: Using a mixed-sex regression formula, the R 2 was from 0.644 to 0.766 and actual difference was less than 4.6 cm.Conclusion: Present study showed that femur length measurements, according to the anatomical landmarks obtained from 3DCT VR images, were useful for estimation of the stature, particularly in cases when a total femur bone was not available.

Introduction: Estimation of stature is an important tool in developing a biological profile for human identification especially using long bones. Thus far, stature estimation had been done mostly based on the American population. Both Thai Formula [6] and Malaysia Formula [4] were currently practice applied by Forensic Anthropologists in Malaysia. Amongst the Asian population, this study had shown that Thai Formula with direct bone measurement have higher accuracy and reliability compared to the Malaysia Formula.Methodology: A new tool is developed in this study to Formulate stature estimation by measuring via Postmortem Multislice Computed Tomography (PMCT) images on the average bilateral length measurements of 3 long bones including humerus, femur and tibia. All the postmortem cases in year 2015 involved Asian Population with known stature were included. A total sample size of 333 were selected by convenience sampling based on the archived PMCT images available and those images with fractured bones or presenting out of the PMCT framework were excluded.Results and Discussion: Statistical analyses showed that there was a significant difference of stature between sex but not significant between population and ancestry. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Regression analysis proved that lower limbs have higher correlation with the stature compared with upper limbs. This study has created more reliable Formula for Malaysia population compared to Non-Malaysia Asian population. For unknown dead bodies, forensic anthropologists were recommended to use both Femur and Tibia Length and the Formula under combined category to resemble the Asian population.

“…The long bones of the limbs and the bones of the hand and foot have been used by many researchers to estimate stature. The long bones of the limbs are the most widely used to regress on body height [46][47][48][49][50]. The upper extremity digit length and palm lengths have also been used to regressed stature [51] as well as the foot to predict sex [52].…”

Anatomical Sciences are important in medical and forensic education and investigations. Areas of Anatomical Sciences which are important in forensic education and investigations have been highlighted and discussed. Therefore there is need for collaboration among Anatomist who are interested in forensic education and investigations with other Forensic Scientists. This collaboration will create opportunity for exchange of ideas required for proper investigations in Forensics as well as employment opportunity.
