The determinants of pelvic brim morphology in the female.
There is a significant positive correlation between the brim index and the conjugate dimension (r = 0,66). The latter also shows a high degree of correlation with stature (r = 0,58). The inverse covariability between the transverse inlet diameter and the brim index is weak (r = -0,17). The larger brim areas and brim indices of taller women are due to their greater sagittal inlet measurements.
