Implication

Analysis reveals that long bones can estimate stature in Asante and Ewe participants, suggesting ethnic specificity in estimates.

Key Points

  • Height estimation can be accurately performed using long bones among different ethnic groups in Ghana, especially the Asante and Ewe.
  • Left fibular and tibial lengths are most useful for stature estimation in Asante males, while right fibular and humeral lengths are significant for Ewe males.
  • This observational analysis involved 242 participants aged 20 to 25 years from two ethnic groups in Ghana, focusing on physical anthropometry.
  • Findings highlight the importance of ethnic and sex-specific parameters in stature estimation, aiding identification in disaster scenarios.
