Prediksi Tinggi Badan Berdasarkan Panjang Tulang Phalanx Proximal II dengan Radiologi Digital pada Suku Batak Tahun 2024

Abstract

Background: There are various incidents that can cause a person's limbs to be unrecognizable or dismembered, even leaving only bones, such as natural disasters, murder, terrorism, mutilation, and fires that can result in unrecognizable, damaged bodies, or even bone remains so that their identities are unknown. This research method is a correlative analytical study that aims to find the relationship between the length of the phalanx bone and height. The approach used in this study is cross-sectional where data collection is only done once and within a certain time. In this case, the purpose of the study was to see the relationship between height and the length of the phalanx proximal bone in the Batak tribe. Results: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded: TB, FP2R and FP2L data are normally distributed, p-value <0.05 (p = 0.001), There is a correlation (Sig FP2R = 0.200 (p> 0.05), with a moderate level of relationship between the length of the right phalanx proximal II bone (r = 0.353) and left (r = 0.400), in men and in women the correlation of the right phalanx proximal II r = 0.464), and the left phalanx proximal II (r = 0.479), with the height of the Batak tribe. Conclusion: that proximal phalanges 2 have a moderate relationship with height (r = 0.353- 0.479), so that phalanx proximal II can be a predictor of height. In this study, 9 regressions were obtained for determining body height based on the length of the proximal phalanx II bone, where the regression using the left proximal phalanx II of women was more accurate than the other regressions.
