骨骼的性别判别分析已广泛地应用于法医学和人类学 ,刑事案件中有时会涉及到只有残存的手 ,要求进行性别判别。然而目前这方面资料较少 ,我们曾测量过国人腕骨 (孙群慧等 ,1997) ,也曾单独进行过示指基节的性别判别分析 ,其正确判别率可达 88.1% (刘丰春等 ,1995 )。为进一步探讨腕骨的性别判别式和判别率 ,特进行本研究 Sex Discrimination Analysis of Bones has been widely used in forensic medicine and anthropology, criminal cases sometimes involve only the remaining hand, requiring gender discrimination. However, there is currently little information on this subject. We have measured the carpal bones of the Chinese people (Sun et al., 1997) and conducted a gender-discriminant analysis of the index finger joints alone.
