ABSTRACT:

Introduction: The ideal rule of identification of sex and age is a sever need in medico legal cases. Sternum is much more appropriate for detection of sex and age of human beings separately from racial characters.

Method: This study has been conducted on the total 100 subjects, 50 female (0-15 yrs) and 50 female (16-60yrs) of healthy people (living children & adults) from general population of north India as well as in and around the Lucknow of Uttar Pradesh. The technique described by Ashley GT -1956b was used for measurement of sternum.

Discussion: on the basis of observation and result in my present study it was fully supported and agree of the previous researchers, who has done the work in measurement of sternum bone in cadaver and skeletal of human, because they told that the sterna has distinguish in different zone of India.

Result: Comparing the mean length, Student’s t test showed significantly different and higher (8.1%) length of manubrium in 16-60 yrs female living adults as compared to 2-15 yrs female living children (44.47 ± 5.79 vs. 48.38 ± 5.71, t=3.39, p=0.001).

Conclusion:  Different segment of sternum bone significantly different and higher length of manubrium, because the growth of sternum segment was completely develop in adult, but the development in children female is continuous in ratio of adults female.

Key words:   Measurement of Sternum, Gender determination,  segment of sternum bone correlation of age.
