Bone-mineral density: clinical significance, methods of quantification and forensic applications
TL;DR: There is scope for expanding the use of bone-mineral density in forensic settings, despite technical and methodological inconsistencies reported in the literature on BMD readings.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Analysis of Hounsfield Unit Values and Volumetrics from Computerized Tomography of the Proximal Femur for Sex and Age Estimation
TL;DR: The proposed method for sex and age estimation provides a reliable tool that can be utilized in both day‐to‐day casework and disaster victim identification and the power of 3D data will provide the opportunity for more quantitative and reproducible analyses.

Age estimation using bone mineral density in South Africans.
TL;DR: DXA measurements of the femur for estimating age may be used for the estimation of age-at-death in white South Africans, but more research is needed to better understand the relationship between bone mineral density and age in black South Africans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone Mineral Density Adult Age Estimation in Forensic Anthropology: A Test of the DXAGE Application.
TL;DR: While BMD data are potentially useful for predicting age age‐at‐death, the DXAGE application should be used cautiously in forensic anthropological contexts, and there is a weak correlation between predicted and actual age.

Estimation of Cadaveric Age by Ultrasonography
Hiroaki Ichioka,Daisuke Miyamori,Daisuke Miyamori,Noboru Ishikawa,Noboru Ishikawa,Risa Bandou,Nozomi Idota,Hiroki Kondou,Hiroshi Ikegaya +8 more
TL;DR: Measuring the BAR value based on bone mass using ultrasonic waves is rapid and easy, even for those lacking forensic training, and may be used to estimate the age of an individual and the likelihood of fracture due to trauma.

Skeletal age determination based on the os pubis: A comparison of the Acsádi-Nemeskéri and Suchey-Brooks methods
S. Brooks,J. M. Suchey +1 more
TL;DR: After reviewing various systems of age determination based on analysis of the pubic bone, the discussion concentrates on the collection and preparation of an extensive autopsy sample of pubic bones from modern individuals with legal documentation of age at death (death and/or birth certificates).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronological metamorphosis of the auricular surface of the ilium: a new method for the determination of adult skeletal age at death.
TL;DR: Results show that the system is equally accurate to pubic symphyseal aging (although somewhat more difficult to apply), and also carries the advantages of a higher preservation rate for the auricular surface in archaeological populations and continued age-related change beyond the fifth decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Trabecular Pattern of the Upper End of the Femur as an Index of Osteoporosis
TL;DR: Roentgenograms of the hip region, in a series of thirty-five patients above the age of fifty years, were studied with particular reference to the trabecular pattern of the upper end of the femur, suggesting that these patterns can be utilized as a roentgenographic scale for the diagnosis and grading of osteoporosis.

Timing of peak bone mass in Caucasian females and its implication for the prevention of osteoporosis. Inference from a cross-sectional model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study of bone mass measurements in 265 premenopausal Caucasian females, aged 8-50 yr, was conducted to determine the timing of peak bone mass and density, and the results showed that most of the bone mass at multiple skeletal locations will be accumulated by late adolescence.

Sexual dimorphism of body composition
TL;DR: Sexual dimorphism in human body composition is evident from fetal life, but emerges primarily during puberty, where males have greater total lean mass and mineral mass and a lower fat mass than females, and these whole-body differences are complemented by major differences in tissue distribution.
