Detailed explanation-1: -Sample Calculations Height = 2.47 * femur length + 54.10 plus or minus 3.72 cm. Plugging the femur length into the formula predicts a standing height of 169.7 centimeters (5 ft, 6.8 inches), within a range from 166 centimeters (5 ft, 5.3 inches) to 173.4 centimeters (5 ft, 8.3 inches).

Detailed explanation-2: -Results indicate that the most accurate estimates of skeletal height from a single bone (as measured by standard error of the estimate-SEE) are from tibial length in males (SEE = 2.40 cm) and from humeral length in females (SEE = 2.59 cm), followed by femoral length (SEE = 2.84 cm).

Detailed explanation-3: -The height, or stature, of a skeleton is most commonly determined by examining the long bones of that individual (femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, and radius). If a complete set of these bones is not available, the accuracy in height determination is improved if at least two or more bones are used.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hyoid bone has an average accuracy of between 72.1% and 92.3% in sex estimation when fusion is not complete. In completely fused hyoids, the methods are more accurate for men because male hyoids are larger.
