Age Estimation


Researchers have studied the processes of human aging by many different
methods. These include developmental, histological, biochemical, and
anthropological techniques. Anthropologists analyze the fusion of the cranial
sutures of the skull, the development of the long bones, features of the pelvic
girdle, and along with forensic dentists, features of the teeth. These techniques
can be valuable when creating a profile for an unidentified person, whether
living or deceased. Estimating an individual’s age can also be helpful in assisting
law enforcement agencies in determining the attainment of the year of
majority of a living individual that will ultimately affect the individual’s treatment
in the legal system as either a child or an adult.
