Previous study (Mays, <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#ajpa23202-bib-0033\"\/>) with a known\u2010age collection of human remains suggested the potential of this phenomenon for age estimation in remains of adults who have lost one or more molar teeth.

It examines the relationship between a previously described standardized measure of posterior corpus height (SPCH) in mandibles showing loss of one or more molars. The potential influence of a general tendency to form or lose bone (identified by the presence of ossification into the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine and cortical thickness at the metacarpal) and (for females) parity are also investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Negative age correlation was found for SPCH in females but not in males. In females, the age\u2010association was weaker, and the rate of loss slower, than in a previously studied 19th century European population.
