Estimasi Tinggi Badan Berdasarkan Panjang Tulang Ulna pada Suku Batak Tahun 2024

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the estimation of height based on the length of the ulna bone in the Batak ethnic group. The method used is analytical correlation with a cross-sectional design, involving 52 respondents consisting of both males and females. Data were collected through measurements of the right and left ulna lengths and the respondents' heights. Analysis was conducted using normality tests, Pearson correlation tests, and linear regression. The results indicate a significant relationship between ulna length and height, with p values < 0.05. Two independent variables simultaneously (the lengths of the right and left ulna) provided the best estimate for height, with a very strong correlation value (r > 0.9). This research is expected to contribute to forensic medicine and the identification of corpses, particularly within the Batak population.
