Description
Naseemoon Shaik and co-authors test whether cheek cell measures can help estimate age for forensic work on unidentified bodies. Eighty people aged twenty to thirty-five were split into four groups of twenty: healthy, with natural body variations, with disease variations, and with acquired conditions. Cells taken with a tongue blade were measured for cell size, nucleus size and the nucleus to cytoplasm ratio.
Clear gaps in nucleus and cell size appeared for people with acquired conditions and metabolic disorders against healthy controls. Systemic disease and tobacco use, even with no visible mouth lesions, changed cell shape in ways that matter. Such shifts could throw off age calls based on these cells, the authors warn.
