Abstract

Sex estimation is a key component of forensic anthropology. The calcaneus, being the largest and most durable of the tarsal bones, is often well-preserved and can provide reliable data for sex estimation. This study aimed to develop discriminant function equations for sex estimation from radiographic measurements of the calcaneus in the Malaysian population
