Chronological metamorphosis of the auricular surface of the ilium: a new method for the determination of adult skeletal age at death.
TLDR
Results show that the system is equally accurate to pubic symphyseal aging (although somewhat more difficult to apply), and also carries the advantages of a higher preservation rate for the auricular surface in archaeological populations and continued age-related change beyond the fifth decade.Abstract:
A new method for the determination of adult skeletal age at death based upon chronological changes in the auricular surface of the ilium is presented. Formal stages have been constructed following extensive tests and refinements in observations made of such changes. Two completely "blind" tests were conducted to assess the accuracy and bias of the new method. Results show that the system is equally accurate to pubic symphyseal aging (although somewhat more difficult to apply), and also carries the advantages of a higher preservation rate for the auricular surface in archaeological populations and continued age-related change beyond the fifth decade.read more

Age Estimation from the Auricular Surface of the Ilium: A Revised Method
TL;DR: A revised method for estimating adult age at death using the auricular surface of the ilium, which has a slightly higher correlation with age than do the Suchey-Brooks pubic symphysis stages.

TL;DR: It is shown that knee OA long existed at low frequencies, but since the mid-20th century, the disease has doubled in prevalence, contradict the view that the recent surge in knee osteoarthritis occurred simply because people live longer and are more commonly obese.

Multifactorial determination of skeletal age at death: A method and blind tests of its accuracy
TL;DR: This represents the first truly blind test of an age-at-death indicator or system, as the test populations were independent of the system(s) being tested, and the age, sex, and ethnogeographic origin of the individuals being assessed were completely unknown until the tests were completed.

TL;DR: This review aims at exposing the experience of the authors working in the FASE subsection of IALM (International Academy of Legal Medicine) in the field of age estimation both on the dead and the living, at highlighting advantages and limits of each method, and suggesting practical solutions concerning the age estimation process for adults and subadults, dead and living, and pedopornographic material.

A critical analysis of the anatomy and the pathologic changes of the sacro-iliac joints
TL;DR: Degenerative changes of the articular cartilages in the fresh specimens were found in all of the sacro-iliac joints, and were definitely more marked in men than in women.
