“…A poor association was found with the evidence of urinary tract infection or low back pain. Much later, Kurihara et al (18) and Brogdon (19) reported the condition almost entirely in parous women, but Kurihara et al suggested that the condition likely disappears with advancing age because it was not common in older women. In 2010, Mitra (20) reported that pregnancy and osteitis condensans ilii are not clearly correlated because the condition can also be found in nulliparas and men.…”

Over a century of scientific literature has documented the research and analysis relating to the possible skeletal evidence of pregnancy, parturition, and childcare, yet today, there still exists variation in methodology and interpretation. Historical perspective facilitates understanding of the growth and development of the theories and research currently available to the forensic science community. Review of the relevant literature clearly indicates that specific skeletal alterations are not exclusively connected to obstetrical events. Although parturition and related events have been shown to leave various alterations on bone, the research record also demonstrates that other factors can contribute to the same or similar changes. Additionally, such alterations can often be found in nulliparous women and men and are frequently absent in parous and multiparous women. This literature review calls for the continued exploration of skeletal alterations for determining parity status in human skeletal remains.

“…Although on examination the appearance of the male skeleton is more substantial than the female, being generally heavier and the long bones of greater length/size, it is the examination of certain specific bones that is most useful in determining the sex of an individual. In particular, the shape, size, and geometry of the pelvis (Kurihara et al 1996;Rogers and Saunders 1994;Sutherland and Suchey 1991), skull, and mandible (Bass 1990; Kurihara et al 1996) and patterns of calcification of the costal (Navani et al 1970), tracheobronchial, thyroid, and arytenoid cartilages (Kurihara et al 1996) can be used to determine sex from skeletal remains by radiological means (Brogdon 2011b). These methods have traditionally relied on the physical examination and measurement of skeletal elements that requires full skeletization to have occurred.…”
