    INTRODUCTION: Estimation of sex from different dimensions has considerable forensic value, for the identification of human remains, in the estimation of sex at disaster sites and in corroborating reports from scientists. This study evaluated calcaneal angles of Kwara populace and estimated sex using X‑ray (Bohler’s angle [BA], crucial angle of Gissane [CG], Fowler–Philips angle [FPA], calcaneal inclination angle [CIA], and calcaneal compression angle [CCA]). MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and ten lateral radiographs consisting of 59 males and 51 females (unilateral) were used in this study. The study was carried out on randomly collected lateral calcaneal radiographs of adults in several hospitals in Kwara state. Standard anthropometric methods were used to measure the right and left calcaneal angles: BA, GA, FPA, CIA, and CCA. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 (IBM® Armonk, New York, USA) statistical software. Confidence level was set at 95% as P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: For right and left calcaneus in both sexes, the calcaneal angles were not significant. The P value was >0.05 (P > 0.05), indicating a nonstatistically significant values for the calcaneal angles. This present study, following measurements of calcaneal parameters in determining the sex of the right and left foot, showed no significant statistical difference across all five parameters. CONCLUSION: The findings showed that the measured calcaneal parameters cannot be used for determining sex.

    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOT LENGTH, BODY MASS INDEX, AND HEIGHT IN COMPARISON WITH PHALLUS LENGTH AMONG HEALTHY YOUNG NIGERIAN MEN
    (15. Published by Era's Lucknow Medical College & Hospital, Lucknow in association with American University of Barbados., 2019) Alabi, A. S.; Ogungbesan, A. A.; Lewu, F. S.; Kareem, S. B.; Oyewopo, A. O.; Adeleke, O. S.; Aigbogun, E. J.
    Most men have misleading information about the normal penis length so they get depressed thinking what they have is small and most go as far as doing surgery to try increasing the length. The aim of this study was to determine the average penile length and investigate the relationship between penile length and somatometric parameters in a group of healthy Nigerian men. A total of 200 healthy men were included in the study. The age, height and weight of the subjects were recorded. Penile length was measure in flaccid state. The correlation between penile length and somatometric parameters was analyzed by Pearson s analysis. The mean age of the subjects was 22.51±2.97 years. The mean penile length in flaccid states was 10.5±0.09cm. There was a weak positive correlation found between penile length and height, weight, and Body mass index respectively (P≤0.001, for all). The penile length must be known to be able to determine the abnormal penile sizes and to make convenient decisions in the counseling and treatment of people with short penis concern. These results demonstrate that somatometric parameters are correlated with penile length. We believe that further studies would provide more information about the casual relationship
