耻骨联合面形态学特征与年龄关系的再研究

A FURTHER STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORPHOLOGIC FEATURES OF PUBIC SYMPHYSES AND AGE ESTIMATION

本文用14岁以后(男180人,女140人)的耻骨,对男女耻骨联合面形态特征差异,影响判断年龄的因素,判断男女年龄的各自指标进行了研究。结果表明:男女耻骨形态特征有差异,应分别使用各自指标。经统计方法比较检验,提出了男女各自指标。某些疾病、下肢外伤、严重营养不良、生育等,可产生耻骨形态变异,影响判断年龄。并对59例盲测结果与Snow(1983)法作了讨论。

This paper gives some further results of the sexual variations in the morphologies of male and female adult (more than 14 yeare old) pubis symphyses (180 of male and 140 of female), which had been dealt with in the previous paper of the author (1982). The sexual criteria and morphology affecting factors for assessing age at death were discussed. The author concludes that pubis symphysis morphologies of male and fe-male adults are different from each other, and the corresponding age criteria, which were proposed for male and female based on statistical method, must be used respecti-vely in the process of age assessment. Certain diseases, lower limb injuries, serious malnutrition and pregnancy might give influences to the morphology of pubes, and to the age estimation. 59 cases were tested blindly and checked, and the results were compared with those given by Snow (1983). Some problems concerned were also discussed.
