Abstract

Abstract: Height is one of the data needed in forensic identification process of a remains that is difficult to identify in an incomplete condition. Height estimation can be determined by the proximal phalanx of the fingers which are long bones. This study was conducted on 113 men and 125 women in several places in Riau Province age 18 - 45 years. The height and dimensions of the proximal phalanx of the fingers are measured to get the correlation and linear regression formula for height. There are 6 dimensions measured on the fingers of the left and right hand. The study design was cross sectional. The statistical test used is Pearson correlation to determine the correlation between dimensions of the proximal phalanx on fingers with height and linear regression analysis for height regression formula. The results show that some dimensions of the proximal phalanx of the fingers are significantly correlated with height. Keywords: identification, height, dimensions of the proximal phalanx bone fingers, correlation, regression formula.

Abstract

Background:Forensic identification is an important thing to indentify victim.Determine the victim’s height is the best way to facilitate the indentification process,but sometimes the condition of the victim isn’t always intact. Identificator need apredictor bone from the victim to get the height,one of the predictor bone is skull.Skull has a rigid structure, so its expected to be astrong bone and can be a predictorto get the victim’s height.Purpose: This researchwas purpose to determine correlation and linear regressionhead circumference with human height in mongoloid race based on sex at 18-45 yearsold in Riau Province.Method: This research was an analytic study with cross sectionalresearch design.The method uses the accidental sampling method to take subject.The subject wasmongoloid race population at 18-45 years old in Riau Province.This study usedstauture meter and tipeline to measue human height and head circumference. Analysisof this study used a computer software.Result: The total respondents were 226 people (113 men and 113 women) at 18-45years old. The result showed a sicnificant correlation (p0,01) in men, women, andtotal respondents. The correleation in men (r=0,43) and women (r=0,47) respondentsindicate a moderate correlation, meanwhile in total respondents (r=0,61) indicate astrong correlation. The regression formula for men is 102,67 + 1,15 (HeadCircumference) ± 4,71, for women is 94,24 + 1,15 (Head Circumference) ± 4,58 andfor total respondents is 44,81 + 2,12 (Head Circumference) ± 5,96. this result of thisstudy shows that the head circumference has a correlation with body height and it canbe use to determine body height.Conclution: The conclution of this research is there is a positive correlation betweenhead circumference and body height based on sex in mongoloid race at 18-45 years inRiau Province.Keywords : Forensic Identification, Head Circumference, Height, Correlation,Regression Formula.Correspondence should be addressed to Dedi Afandi; Dediafandi4n6@gmail.com.
