Aging techniques that use the posterior or middle part of the pelvis are of interest because this part of the body is very resistant to decay. In a preliminary study, acetabular criteria correlated with age were isolated. In a second study, three acetabular criteria and four auricular surface criteria were described and it was demonstrated that it is of interest to associate these criteria. The goal of the present study was to test these criteria in a larger sample and to elaborate a standardized procedure for the use of these criteria. The study concerned 462 os coxae (hip bones) of known age and sex. All of the criteria are correlated with age. Establishing a score allows a better correlation with age with lower intra-/inter-observer variability. Seven categories of overall score corresponding to eight age groups were defined and the probabilities of belonging to an age group depending on the overall score were calculated. The first main advantage of this procedure is that it is still applicable when only some parts of the body remain. The other benefit is its ability to discriminate older people.
使用骨盆后部或中部的老化技术备受关注，因为身体的这一部分对腐烂具有很强的抵抗力。在一项初步研究中，分离出了与年龄相关的髋臼标准。在第二项研究中，描述了三个髋臼标准和四个耳状面标准，并证明将这些标准联系起来是有意义的。本研究的目的是在更大的样本中测试这些标准，并制定使用这些标准的标准化程序。该研究涉及462块已知年龄和性别的髋骨。所有标准均与年龄相关。建立一个分数可以在更低的观察者内/观察者间变异性情况下与年龄有更好的相关性。定义了与八个年龄组相对应的七类总分，并计算了根据总分属于某个年龄组的概率。该程序的第一个主要优点是，当身体仅剩余某些部分时它仍然适用。另一个好处是它能够区分老年人。
