The Baudoin Index (BI) is a human identification method for sex estimation based on occipital condyle measures. Objective: To investigate the applicability of the BI for sex estimation in a Brazilian sample. Material and Method: This was a blind cross-sectional study with 209 skulls from the Center for Studies in Forensic Anthropology, Pernambuco School of Dentistry, University of Pernambuco (CEAF / FOP / UPE). The right and left occipital condyles were measured for width and length using a digital caliper. Subsequently, the BI formula was applied to the measurements for classification of sex. The data were analyzed descriptively and by Student’s t test, Mann Whitney test, and Pearson’s Chi square, considering a 5% significance level. Results: The occipital condyle measures showed significant sex-related differences (P < 0.05), except for the width of the right occipital condyle (P = 0.376). The agreement rates of the BI in males (38%, right side; 29.6%, left side) were lower than those in females (59.4%, right side; 52.5%, left side). Conclusion: The Baudoin Index did not show accurate sex estimates in the Brazilian sample of skulls analyzed herein. Thus, this index is not suitable for estimating sex in this population.
