Korelasi Antara Panjang Tulang Sternum Dengan Tinggi Badan Berdasarkan Jenis Kelamin Pada Ras Mongoloid Usia 18-45 Tahun Di Provinsi Riau
The determination of body height possesses an important role in establishing personal identities when encountering an incomplete human corpse. The estimation of body height can be determined by measuring certain parts of the body, one of which is the length of the sternal bone. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation and the approximate height equation based on sex using the sternal length. An analytical study with a cross-sectional approach was used in this research. To calculate the correlation and the linear regression formula, a statistical test was performed using IBM SPSS 26.0. In this study, body height and sternal length were measured from 230 mongoloid respondents (115 males and 115 females), aged between 18-45 years old in Riau Province. A significant correlation was obtained between sternal length and body height (p < 0,01) in male and female respondents. The correlation coefficient (r) score for male (r = 0,33) and female (r = 0,24) respondents indicates a weak correlation strength. Height regression formula in men was obtained, namely: Body Height = 144,35 + 1,13(Sternal Length) ± 6,44 cm and in women: Body Height = 139,20 + 0,96(Sternal length) ± 4,87 cm. The result of this study showed that the length of the sternum bone has limited forensic value and relatively low reliability in estimating height for mongoloid population at 18-45 years old in Riau Province.
