Bone Disorders

3.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Anthropology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Bone Biology

Background:

  • Accurate chronological age estimation is essential for forensic identification.
  • Medical imaging offers quantitative methods for macroscopic bone evaluation.
  • Trabecular bone microstructure changes with age, offering potential for age estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the association between age-related changes in trabecular bone microstructure and chronological age.
  • To evaluate the utility of non-invasive imaging techniques for age estimation in forensic science.
  • To synthesize current knowledge on trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters for chronological age assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Electronic searches of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar.
  • Qualitative synthesis using the Anatomical Quality Assessment tool and narrative data synthesis.

Main Results:

  • 14 articles were included from an initial search of 3467 articles.
  • Microcomputed tomography, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, and cone beam computed tomography are key imaging techniques.
  • Age-related changes include decreased bone volume fraction, trabecular number, and connectivity density, with increased trabecular separation; morphometric indices vary by age and site.

Conclusions:

  • Non-invasive imaging techniques effectively quantify trabecular bone microarchitecture for chronological age estimation.
  • Trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters provide reliable indicators for age assessment in forensic contexts.
  • Further research can refine these methods for improved accuracy in forensic age estimation.
