华南地区男性成年人由长骨长度推算身长的回归方程

从近年来收集的华南地区汉族成年男性50具已知生前身长的骨骼材料,算出从各长骨推算身长的常数(a)及回归系数(b),并算出长骨长度与身高的相关系数(r)数值在0.516—0.913之间,表明相关度较为密切,在此基础上算出10个由各长骨的估计身长的回归方程。并采用校正值:0.6毫米×(年龄—30),校正因年龄所造成的身长误差。从肱骨、腓骨及肱骨加桡骨、股骨加胫骨的长度推算身长最为理想。本文所得的回归方程,适用于华南人。

ESTIMATION OF STATURE BY LONG BONES OF CHINESE MALE ADULTS IN SOUTH CHINA

Based on the materials of 50 Han male adult cadavers collected in South China in recent years, we have calculated the constants (a) and the regression coefficients (b) for estimating the stature by long bones as well as the coefficients of correlation (r) between the length of long bones and the stature. The value of the correlation coefficients varies within 0.516.913. This indicates that the degree of correlation is high. On this basis we have also calculated ten regression formulae by which the stature can be estimated. The correction value 0.6 mmX (age—30) is used to correct the error caused by age.
The results of the calculation by humerus and fibula, humerus plus radius and femur plus tibia are better than those by other bones. The regression formulae made in the present article can be used to estimate the stature of South Chinese.
