A biometric comparative roentgenological study of the cervical vertebral bodies was performed, according to age and sex, from lateral roentgenograms of 120 adult cervical regions. The sexual dimorphism already described by many authors was confirmed. The vertebral bodies of C2, C3, and C7 have the more variable structure according to age. The results of our measurements are in accordance with clinical findings and provide data on the structural changes of the cervical spine during ageing. In anthropological terms, the vertebral body of C2, in particular its antero-posterior diameter, is the best age indicator, irrespective of individual and exterior variables.
根据年龄和性别，对120个成人颈椎区域的侧位X线片进行了颈椎椎体的生物计量学比较X线研究。许多作者已经描述过的性别二态性得到了证实。C2、C3和C7椎体的结构随年龄变化更大。我们的测量结果与临床发现一致，并提供了颈椎在衰老过程中结构变化的数据。从人类学角度来看，C2椎体，特别是其前后径，是最佳的年龄指标，不受个体和外部变量的影响。
