“…Bose et al (2011) showed that the odds for a belt-restrained female driver to sustain severe injuries were 47% higher than those for a similarly restrained male driver involved in a comparable crash. In frontal sled tests with postmortem human subjects, elderly female subjects were found to sustain a higher number of rib fractures than field studies or equivalent sled tests with larger male counterparts would predict (Shaw et al 2017).…”

This study provides new geometric data regarding the variability in anthropometry of adult females with age and has utility in advancing the veracity of current human body models. A simplified scaffold representation of underlying 3-dimensional bones within the thorax is presented, and the reported young and old female parameter sets can be used to characterize the anatomic differences expected with age and to both validate and drive morphing algorithms for aged human body models. The modular approach taken allows model parameters to hold inherent and intuitive meaning, offering advantages over more generalized methods such as principal component analysis. Geometry can be assessed on a component level or a whole thorax level, and the parametric representation of thorax shape allows direct comparisons between the current study and other individuals or human body models.
