Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Gender is one of the significant parameters used in identification. Anthropometric measures taken from decayed or disintegrated corpse or corpse pieces are often used in the identification of gender. Especially in mass disasters, the special standards of society that have been constituted before are very useful in this identification. Even though DNA analysis gives absolute results, after such disasters there is need for practical, reliable conventional methods which gives the result quickly and is costless or less costly. In this study, it is aimed to present Turkish population special data in gender identification from hand and wrist measurements. METHODS: In the framework of this study, anthropometric Hand Length (HL), Hand Breadth (HB) and Wrist Breadth (WB) measures were taken with sliding compass from 410 people constituted of 255 males and 155 females. The relationship between gender and hand, wrist measures was analyzed using discriminant function analysis in SPSS 21. RESULTS: The most reliable variables in sex determination from hand measurements were observed as hand breadth (83.4%), wrist breadth (82.9%) and hand length (79.3%), respectively. In case of two or three variables combination, 86.6% accuracy level was obtained in sex determination with dual model that hand length and wrist breadth were evaluated together. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, it was seen that hand and wrist measurements can be used as a conventional method in gender identification when required.

Özet

AMAÇ: Kimliklendirmede kullanılan önemli parametrelerden biri cinsiyetdir. Çürümüş ya da parçalanmış ceset veya bunlara ait ceset parçalarından alınan antropometrik ölçümler cinsiyetin belirlenmesinde sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle büyük çaplı kitle felaketlerinde, daha önceden oluşturulmuş toplumlara özgü standartlar cinsiyetin belirlenmesinde oldukça yararlıdır. Şüphesiz DNA incelemeleri cinsiyet tespitinde kesin sonuç vermekle birlikte, bu tür felaketler sonrası imkanlar doğrultusunda kısa sürede sonuç veren, maliyet gerektirmeyen ya da azaltan, pratik ve güvenilir konvansiyonel yöntemlere ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmada el ve el bilek ölçümlerinden cinsiyetin tespiti için Türkiye popülasyonuna özgü verilerin ortaya konulması amaçlandı. YÖNTEMLER: Çalışma kapsamında 255 erkek ve 155 kadın olmak üzere toplam 410 kişinin antropometrik olarak El Uzunluğu (EU), El Genişliği (EG) ve El Bilek Genişliğinin (EBG) ölçüleri sürmeli kumpaslarla yazarlar tarafından alındı. El ve el bilek ölçümlerinin cinsiyet ile ilişkisi SPSS 21 istatistik programının diskriminant fonksiyon analizi ile test edildi. BULGULAR: El ölçümlerinden cinsiyet tespitinde en güvenilir değişkenlerin sırasıyla el genişliği (% 83.4), el bilek genişliği (% 82.9) ve el boyu (% 79.3) olduğu görüldü. İki ya da üç değişkenin kombinasyonunda ise cinsiyet ayrımı % 86.6 kesinlikte El Uzunluğu ve El Bilek Genişliği'nin birlikte kullanıldığı ikili modelde saptandı. SONUÇ: Sonuç olarak, konvansiyonel yöntemler arasında el ve el bilek ölçümlerinin gerektiğinde cinsiyet tespitinde kullanılabileceği saptandı.
