Abstract:
Objective To study and establish the regression equation applied to estimate the main general skull index with the frontal bone index.Methods Totally 135 adult male mandibles were used for 38 items of measurements with the physical anthropology measuring method.The data were analyzed by regression analysis with statistical software(SPSS 17.0).The pairs of bad correlation(r<0.4) were eliminated.Results Totally 147 one-factor linear regression equations were set up,among which the P values were lower than 0.001.ConclusionThe regression equations may be used to estimate the main general skull index with frontal bone index and provide the evidences for the recovery of the skull.There will be significance to the anthropology,anthropology and forensic anthropology.
