American Journal of Physical Anthropology,, 10(2): 145-153 DOI. Such researches are a tool for conducting studies related to evolution, demographic. The mastoid process in the chimpanzee and gorilla. Conclusion The created model "P" ("P"=exp /1+exp ) for sex determination based on mastoid process showed sensitivity of 82% correct prediction for female skulls and 65% accurate prediction for male skulls. Abstract Objective: Osteometric studies using individual bones have been a topic of interest among researchers. Multivariate binary logistic regression showed statistically significant differences in AP diameter of the mastoid process (p<0.05). Results Using the univariate method, we found a significant difference between length, width, AP diameter and size of mastoid processes as well as between gender (p <0.05). At each mastoid process, 3 measurements were made: mastoid length, mastoid width (medio-lateral diameter) ML) and anteroposterior diameter (AP) of the mastoid process. One reason for mastoid process pain in just one ear is a cholesteatoma. Cholesteatoma and pain in the mastoid process. An infection in your middle ear (otitis media) is usually to blame for mastoid. Male skulls were on average 60 (47-71) years old and female 57 (43-76) years old. Causes of Mastoid Process Pain Middle ear infection causes mastoiditis. Of the 100 skulls, 50 (50%) were male and 50 (50%) were female. Methods The study was conducted on a sample of 100 macerated skulls of known gender and age from the second half of the 20th century, including the Bosnian population. Morphometric analysis excluded a subjective approach expressed in osteoscopic analysis. Aim To determine the degree of accuracy in determining the sex of the skull based on classical morphometric analysis of the mastoid process.
