Costal cartilage ossification on chest plate radiographs is one of the useful methods in age estimation for adults. This study was performed in 136 remains yielding a regression formula for age estimation in Thai male population. Eight features on chest plate imaging were scored based on Garvin's method. Composite scores were calculated by summation of all scores and analyzed to generate the regression of age as: Age=16.664×e with a 95% prediction interval. The predicted age intervals in all composite scores were overlapping except for score 0 and 7. It could be concluded that if all features are absent/present, the person is likely to be less/more than 29years old.
胸部X线片上的肋软骨骨化是成人年龄估计的有用方法之一。本研究对136具遗骸进行，得出了泰国男性人群年龄估计的回归公式。根据加文方法对胸部X线影像上的八个特征进行评分。综合评分通过所有分数相加计算得出，并进行分析以生成年龄回归公式为：年龄=16.664×e，预测区间为95%。除了分数0和7外，所有综合评分的预测年龄区间都有重叠。可以得出结论，如果所有特征都不存在/存在，那么此人可能小于/大于29岁。
