Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome is to determine the possible correlation between stature, sex using shoulder breadth, shoulder height, popliteal height, Hip breadth, and knee height measurements in the south Indian population.Timepoint: May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months )

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Determination of Stature and Sex is important in forensics to identify the individualTimepoint: May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months );Estimating stature and sex using anthropometry measurements in forensic science is essential for identifying unknown remains, building a biological profile, and aiding criminal investigations. It helps narrow down possible identities, exclude unlikely matches, and analyze trauma patterns, which is especially useful in cases of fragmented remains or mass disasters.Timepoint: May 2024 - April 2025 ( 12 months )
