Sagittal suture maturation: Morphological reorganization, relation to aging, and reliability as an age‐at‐death indicator

Abstract

Although related to aging, SS closure is not a simple function of it. Rather, the underlying factors inducing and managing this process are multifaceted and complex. Although the etiology of SS maturation remains unclear, it is reasonable to use SS closure cautiously and only as a supportive method for age prediction.
