Aging of the Lumbar Vertebrae Using Known Age and Sex Samples

Aging of the Lumbar Vertebrae Using Known Age and Sex Samples

The dimensions of the lumbar vertebrae are examined in order to determine if these measurements can be used to predict the age of an individual, and if the lumbar vertebrae exhibit sexual dimorphism. Various statistical techniques were utilized to analyze several dimensions of the lumbar vertebrae....
