Relation of sex with Index of Greater sciatic notch of human hip bone

Dr Gautam Kumar Singh, Dr S. K. Shrivastava

Abstract :

Many researchers have emphasized the need for population specific data for methods which are based on measurements, as there are vast differences in body size in various populations. The pelvis is known to be the most sexually dimorphic part of the human body,the greater sciatic notch is the one of the most important discriminators between male and female and when we take the index value of greater sciatic notch ranging between 60.40 to 187.90 in male and the value of female hip bones ranging between 65.0 to 164.30. The purpose of this study was therefore to develop discriminant functions which can be used for sex determination on measurements of the pelvis.
