Abstract:
Stature is one of the important criteria to individual recognition. And it is always a focus in forensic anthropology. There are some new progresses studies in stature estimation in recent years. We review some studies in stature estimation published in domestic and foreign in the past six years, and find some progresses in stature estimation: (1) As the increasing average human stature, the stature estimation equation is needed to be corrected; (2) Gender, age, race and territory have a great influence to stature estimation. Thus when the study protocol designed, these influences should be considered; (3)The medical imaging technology, especially Computed Tomography, is becoming a new tool to infer stature estimation in forensic anthropology.
