Abstract

The estimation of stature is very important in forensic anthropology for identification of bodies, but there is no standard model for the purpose. This study aimed to develop a model estimated height, using a predictor of long bones. A total of 96 samples of randomly selected students from a total of 199 students, aged 17-22 years. Height was measured using ZT-120 Health Scale and the length of the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia and fibula was measured by using a spreading caliper. Height estimation model using multiple linear regression model with long bone length as a predictor. to estimate the height of men there are three bones as predictors, the left tibia, right humerus and a right radius, with a regression coefficient of 0.94 (±0.3), 0.82 (±0.3), and 0.79 (±0.4) sequentially. Predictors for the high women are left fibula, left ulna and left humerus, with regression koefsien 1.13 (±0.3), 1.20 (±0.4), and 0.85 (±0.4) sequentially. From this study it can be concluded that the left tibia, right humerus and right radius can be used estimate the height of men, and left fibula, left ulna and left humerus can be used estimate the height of women.
