AB  - Trotter and Gleser's (1-3) stature equations, conventionally used to estimate 
      stature, are not appropriate to use in the modern forensic context. In this 
      study, stature is assessed with a modern (birth years after 1944) American sample 
      (N = 242) derived from the National Institute of Justice Database for Forensic 
      Anthropology in the United States and the Forensic Anthropology Databank. New 
      stature formulae have been calculated using forensic stature (FSTAT) and a 
      combined dataset of forensic, cadaver, and measured statures referred to as Any 
      Stature (ASTAT). The new FSTAT-based equations had an improved accuracy in Blacks 
      with little improvement over Ousley's (4) equations for Whites. ASTAT-based 
      equations performed equal to those of FSTAT equations and may be more 
      appropriate, because they reflect both the variation in reported statures and in 
      cadaver statures. It is essential to use not only equations based on forensic 
      statures, but also equations based on modern samples.
