dc.description.abstractIntroduction: In forensic medicine, it becomes impossible to identify corpses in events that affect a large part of the population, such as natural disasters, accidents, and wars. The aim of this study is to determine the height and gender of the Turkish population with hand and handprint morphometric measurements. Materials and Methods: The sample size of the study consists of 600 Turkish population aged between 18 and 58 years (mean +/- standard deviation: 22.18 +/- 5.43) living in Middle Anatolia. In the morphometric measurements of the hand, 21 anthropometric measurements were taken from each volunteer. Results: It was determined that men had higher values than women in all hand and handprint measurements and were statistically significant. When the correlation between hand and handprint measurements and statue was examined, it was determined that hand length and handprint length had the highest correlation with height in both genders (male: r: 0.57, r: 0.62; female: r: 0.49, r: 0.50). When comparing the bilateral asymmetry of the right and left hands of both sexes, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference between the lengths of the thumb distal phalanx, little finger proximal, and middle phalanx in men and between the lengths of the index finger distal phalanx, middle finger middle and distal phalanx, and ring finger distal phalanx in women (P < 0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was seen that the use of hand and handprint measurements to determine height and gender in the Turkish population gave high results.
