[Prospects for determining age from human soft tissues (a morphometric study)].
Biometric studies of the aorta, endocrine glands (testes, prostate, and thyroid), and x-ray examination of the hands from 427 corpses of men and women aged 17-89 years helped formulate equations of paired and multiple linear regression for the diagnosis of age. The difference between biological and passport age is significant if the diagnosis is made on the basis of a single object or single sign. Complex use of several objects described by many signs is recommended; in this case the confidence intervals is no more than +/- 4.09 years.
