This paper analyzes the reliability of the Iscan's sternal rib-ends phase method for the assessment of individual age at the time of death in the Balkan population. The method is based on the morphological age changes of the sternal rib ends. The tested samples consisted of 65 ribs from autopsy cases in the Institute for Forensic Medicine, University of Belgrade, during 1999-2002 (23 females, and 42 males of various ages, ranged from 17-91 years), according to the forensic documents. Significant differences between the real chronological age of the individuals and the values established by the Iscan's method was found, especially in the older categories (phases 6 and 7), in both males and females. The results of the discriminative analysis showed the values of the highest diagnostic relevance for the assessment of age in our population: the change of the depth of the articular fossa, the thickness of its walls, and the quality of the bones.
本文分析了伊斯坎胸骨肋端分期法在评估巴尔干地区人群死亡时个体年龄方面的可靠性。该方法基于胸骨肋端的形态学年龄变化。根据法医文件，测试样本包括1999年至2002年期间贝尔格莱德大学法医学研究所尸检案例中的65根肋骨（23名女性和42名男性，年龄各异，范围为17至91岁）。研究发现，个体的实际年龄与伊斯坎方法确定的值之间存在显著差异，尤其是在老年类别（第6和第7阶段）的男性和女性中。判别分析结果显示，对于评估我们人群的年龄，具有最高诊断相关性的值为：关节窝深度的变化、其壁的厚度以及骨骼质量。
