ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To promote the further research on body stature estimation and the innovative applications based on the distances between the anatomical landmarks on body torso surface.@*METHODS@#A specification for the collection of distances between the anatomical landmarks on body torso surface was established. The data of 933 cases of adult population in Yangtze River Delta region were collected. Multiple linear regression method was used to statistical analyse and establish the regression equation of stature estimation.@*RESULTS@#A regression equation about 5 variables including gender （x₁）, cervical vertebrae-coccyx line （x₂）, sterna-pubis line （x₃）, distance between acromion and iliospinale anterius （x₄） and shoulder breadth （x₅）, and stature （y） was established, y=105.406+5.414 x₁+0.436 x₂+0.286 x₃+0.225 x₄+ 0.193 x₅.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The method is suitable for the rapid, simple and accurate estimation of stature for the forensic experts.

Objective To study relationship between length of sterna-pubis line, cervical vertebrae-coc-cyx line and stature in West of Hubei Province. Methods 400 men and women were randomly chosen. Length of sterna-pubis line, length of cervical vertebrae-coccyx line and stature in every person were mea-sured, and all data analysesd by multiple linear regression analysis. Results we have estiblished Eight quadratic equation which stature was calculated via different sex and age groups. Significant difference was observed between the length of sterna-pubis line, and cervical vertebrae-coccyx line and the stature in age group of 18-40. Yet nosignificant difference was seen over 41 and this method must be used with care. Conclusion These equations can be used to determine the stature of Chinese adults.
