摘要: <正> 身高是一种稳定的遗传性状,受环境的影响甚微。在刑事案件中,身高的推算是一个不可缺少的个体鉴定项目。身高的推算,从数理统计学原理来考虑,以用长骨的材料为最佳。从长骨推算身高是法医人类学领域中一项十分重要的研究课题,它可以通过尸骨残骸鉴定死者生前的

Abstract: This study of estimation of stature from length of intact long limb bones is to be based on measurements of stature during life and of bones after skeletonization.A rather high degree of correlations between stature and long limb bones were determined, and from them, based on the theory of regression, new 152 regression equations, including 120 simple linear regression equations and 32 multiple regression equations, were computed. After a thorough analysis of the equations, it was found that inferior limb bone lengths are more highly correlated with stature than are superior limb bone lengths and, therefore, they may be expected to provide a more reliable estimation of stature; stature lower limb long bone regression equations reveal a lower standard error of estimate than that from the upper limb long bone. Never use a superior limb long bone to estimate stature when an inferior limb long bone is available. Moreover, estimation of stature from the sum of the length of femur and fibula (or tibia) appears still more reliable than that from any one of the lower limb long bones.Finally, the regression equations to estimate living stature from the long bones of Chinese males between 21 and 30 years of age were compared with the regression equations of American Whites and Negroes (M. Trotter, 1958).
