- Abstract
Introduction: Human identification is the process of recognizing a specific person based on their distinctive physical traits. In crime investigations, one of the most useful anthropometric parameters for identifying people is their height. Forensic anthropologists’ analyses and identify human remains like dry bones and skull using metric techniques. These aid in assessing age, sex, stature, ancestry, and distinctive characteristics of the skeleton. Determining a person's height and gender is crucial in forensic science when establishing their identification. Methodology:A cross sectional study was done in adults belonging to Indore. Both the institute's ethical approval and the patients' informed permission were obtained. The participants' demographic information, Measurements of face characteristics were taken, along with height. The cephalon-facial measurements used were maximum head length (MHL), maximum head breadth (MHB), horizontal head circumference (HC), Bigonial diameter (BD), physiognomic facial length (PFL), ear length (EL), ear breadth (EB), and cephalic index (CI). All face parameter data was transformed from millimeters to centimeters and aanalysed with respect to gender. Data was analysed on Windows XP Professional using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The collected data were analysed using regression analysis, standard error of estimate, mean, standard deviation, and Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient. The estimation of height was done using regression models. Using them on a different sample of 25 males and 25 females from Indore allowed us to assess their dependability as well. Results: There were 494 women and 506 men, with an age distribution of within the 18–50 age bracket. The best factors for male identification in the Indore population were found to be height > 172.2 cm, Bigonial width > 12.91 cm, lower facial height > 6.62 cm, and upper facial height > 6.6 cm.The ideal characteristics it was decided that the following measurements were used to identify females in the Indore population: LFH < 3.58 cm, UFH < 4.38 cm, and Height < 146.87 cm. Conclusion: Results for the Indore, populations may be found in the regression equations supplied by this research, which assesses stature from face parameters. When forensic examinations include solely face remains, these methods have been shown accurate and reliable.
