Background Indonesia is one of the countries with the most number of susceptible areas to various natural disasters, thus proper and scientific identification process needs to be a major national concern. Personal identification is a significant priority in forensic science to determine the identity of disaster victims. Biological profiling is one method that can be used to determine the sex of an unrecognizable victim. In previous studies, nasal index is one example of facial profiles that can be used to identify race and gender. With nasal index data, it will be easier to classify humans into groups that have the same characteristics. This study can be used to determine nasal morphology of the Toraja Tribe population, in Uluway Village, Toraja Regency, which will be used as basic data for forensic identification.
