Forensic medical evaluation age-related changes aorta and pair large arteries

Objective: differentiation of age-dependence indices of aorta, carotid, brachial, femoral arteries and drawing the mathematical model for forensic age determinations on their basis. Material and methods. Objects were: aorta, fragments of right and left carotid, brachial and femoral arteries taken in a complex of 186 male and female corpses, died at the age of 17-94. Research methods consisted of organometrical, histological, micrometrical, correlative and regressive analysis. The Results. Correlative and regressive analysis of 35 indicators of aorta, carotid, brachial and femoral arteries was conducted. All material was divided into figures with a significant correlation with age and performance of age-independent. The mathematical model was composed for calculation of age. Conclusion. Indicated involution of arterial wall and compiled on the basis of a mathematical model for determination the age could be taken as the basis for forensic method of age determination.
