The toin of human age is one of the major problems in civil and criminal investigations. We employed standard radiographies to evaluate the age by development and mineralization of eight of the bones metacarpal, in 200 leucoderm brazilians, of both sexes, aging betwen 13 and 22 years old. The results showed that among the eight bones studied, the trapezium and trapezoid, were the bones that presented a more uniform enlarhement of area, in female, the results showed no significative correlation between age and domensions of area. We concluded that, the metacarpal bones in female present a more accelerated development and mineralization than in male, by linear regression analysis, it was possible to make a formula to estimate age, with a relative security, just by trapezoid bone area, with 80,87% of certainty.Downloads
