Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses hand dimensions for sex determination in medical students, highlighting the utility of logistic regression for forensic identification.

Key Points

  • Logistic regression achieved 90% accuracy for sex prediction using hand dimensions.
  • Significant differences in hand dimensions were found, with males having larger measurements (p < 0.001).
  • The Right Hand Index and height were identified as key predictors of sex in the final model.
  • This method of using hand anthropometry offers a reliable approach for forensic investigations.
