Future research into the morphological development of the nuchal crest, mastoid process, supraorbital margin, glabella, and mental eminence traits from pre-puberty to early adulthood would enhance our understanding of how age affects these traits and the age at which the traits may reliably be used for sex estimation.
Ordinal logistic regression and pseudo-[R.sup.2] analyses found that age had a significant, although practically minor, effect on the mastoid process, supraorbital margin, glabella, and mental eminence trait scores.
