“…To understand whether this nasal anatomical variation is due to the adaptation of the Kosovar population to the specific environment or whether it concerns other ethnic groups, broadly speaking, it would be useful to extend the analysis to other neighboring and non-neighboring populations. Furthermore, for the purpose of forensic identification, it will be useful to verify any anthropometric differences in relation to age, as well as to supplement the method with other already known or innovative methods for age estimation [ 51 , 52 ].…”

This would entail providing hospital pediatricians and other specialists involved with a valid and reliable diagnostic tool, ultimately benefiting both the individual and society as a whole.…”
