从成年人骨骼中诊断性别是体质人类学领域的一项基本任务。在之前的研究中，距骨和跟骨的判别功能被证明是性别评估的有用工具，准确率从 67% 到 97%。本研究的目的是将这些判别函数应用于已知性别的现代日本人，并使用 143 名现代日本人（72 名男性和 71 名女性）的骨骼材料计算日本人口的新判别函数。 7 个已发布函数的总准确率低于 70%，5 个函数的总准确率较高，为 76-87%。本研究中判别函数的总准确率在85%到94%之间，比之前的研究有所提高。
The diagnosis of sex from an adult human skeleton is a fundamental task in the field of physical anthropology. In previous studies, the discriminant functions of the talus and calcaneus were shown to be useful tools for sexual assessment, giving accuracy ratios from 67 to 97%. The aim of this study is to apply these discriminant functions to modern Japanese with known sex, and to calculate new discriminant functions for the Japanese population using skeletal materials from 143 modern Japanese (72 males and 71 females). The total accuracy ratios of 7 published func- tions were below 70% and those of 5 functions were relatively high at 76-87%. The total accuracy ratios of the discriminant functions in this study ranged from 85% to 94%, which is somewhat higher than those of previous studies.
