Non-pathological dried adult sacrum 154 male and 129 female of North India and 175 male and 143 female sacrum of South India. The same sex were compared metrically. Measurements were taken by Vernier caliper. All the parameters were highly significant (P<0.01). The logistic regression equation formula was applied so that the sacrum of any region could be identified correctly. This regional comparison of same gender appears to be new study which is more important medico-legally, anatomically and anthropologically.

Abstract


Non-pathological dried adult sacrum 154 male and 129 female of North India and 175 male and 143 female sacrum of South India. The same sex were compared metrically. Measurements were taken by Vernier caliper. All the parameters were highly significant (P<0.01). The logistic regression equation formula was applied so that the sacrum of any region could be identified correctly. This regional comparison of same gender appears to be new study which is more important medico-legally, anatomically and anthropologically.
