Abstract

Fingerprint Pattern and Digital Axial Triradius (ATD) Angle on Shabu-Shabu Narcotics Users in Palembang City

Background: Dermatoglyphics is a science to determine a pattern both from fingerprints, triradius, tendrils, and the Axial Triradius Digital (ATD) angle. Nowadays, it is can be used in ethnhobiology, forensic or to determine the pattern the disease or disorder. Research on dermatoglyphics is still needs study. Today, research on fingerprint patterns, especially in drug cases is still very limited.

The data obtained were analyzed.

Result: The fingerprint patterns were at most with a whorl pattern of 99 fingers (41.25%). Whereas for the ATD angle, the highest results were obtained at angles> 50^o from both hands as many as 14 people (58.3%).
