This study proposed an histological method of estimating age at death in skeletons that uses a 0.4-cm-diameter core of cortical bone. Age-estimating regression equations were generated from data obtained from the analysis of bone cores taken from femurs, tibiae, humeri, and ulnas of cadavers. When the regression equations generated in this study were applied to eight forensic science cases, accurate ages at death were estimated.
本研究提出了一种利用直径0.4厘米的皮质骨核心来估计骨骼死亡年龄的组织学方法。年龄估计回归方程是根据对取自尸体股骨、胫骨、肱骨和尺骨的骨核心分析所获得的数据生成的。当将本研究中生成的回归方程应用于八个法医学案例时，准确估计出了死亡年龄。
