Abstract

Age in middle aged adults is an important factor in certain legal and administrative matters like
determination of eligibility for a particular employment or post, fixing of retirement age of an individual
etc. Hospital administrators may also face such an issue. The current medical methods in age estimation
include assessment of skeletal changes which helps in arrival of the approximate age range based on medical
criteria, literature and previous studies. The age estimation in the middle aged individuals (45-65 years)
is a difficult task due to the factor that at the end of examination, conclusion drawn is given in wide age
range. This may be of minimal use to the administrators or employers as they require a specific age or at
least a short age range to finalize the issues in question. So, for purpose of the administrative matters for
fixing a particular age the criteria which may be used have been discussed in the article. Further studies
and multiple other factors which determine these skeletal changes needs to be studied and a method should
be improvised for proper conclusions. There is also a need for standardization of criteria for arriving at
scientifically reasonable conclusions in determination of age. Virtual autopsy is a boon in this aspect and
opens door for study of possible parameters and determinants in age estimation.
