The approximation of height of body is important for assessment the human feature as same as age, sex and race. This information increases opportunity for identifying corpses and decreases scope for forensic investigation. Nowadays, many people die from crime and disaster. This cause difficulty for discovery complete skeleton. Usually long bones is the best for assessment the height of body but in many cases long bones disappear, so other bone were used instead. Objectives of this study are estimate height from Thai skull and use for Anthropological identification in Thailand.
This research aims to develop a predicted formula of height of body from Thai skull. The research study 118 samples by measuring 6 positions of skull. For statistical analysis found that, Bizygomatic breadth (zy-zy) values is the most correlate to height of body (r=0.444, SEE 8.338). The approximation of height of the body used Linear Regression Analysis by Stepwise method found that {predicted height = [56.036 + (6.721 x zy-zy) + (4.17 x ba-b) ) – (4.25 x ft-ft)] + 7.985}
