Diagnostika i prognozirovanie dliny tela cheloveka na osnove issledovaniya dermatoglificheskikh priznakov pal'tsev ruk i ladoney

The paper gives the results of an experimental study of the dermatoglyphics of fingers and palms in the representatives of the Europeoid race (males and females) with different heights. On the basis of the revealed patterns of variability in the papillary relief, the authors have developed the diagnostic and prognostic models to define height, which are based on the Bayesian approach and multiple regression analysis. A height group can be correctly defined in 75-95% of cases; the height estimation accuracy is ±4-5 cm. In terms of their high efficiency and technical simplicity, the developed models can find application in forensic medical practice to identify a personality and in sports medicine to detect early a child's natural abilities to this kind of sports.
