It is not fully understood whether masticatory performance is compromised in individuals with the more common forms of malocclusion (i.e. Class I and Class II). The aim of this prospective investigation was to establish the relationships between masticatory performance, malocclusion (type and severity), age, body size and gender, in children and adolescents. A total of 335 individuals were exam...

objectives: this study sought to assess the relation of mandibular cortical index (mci) with age, gender and gonial angle size in an iranian adult population using digital panoramic radiography. methods: we evaluated 370 digital panoramic radiographs of patients and divided them into five 10-year age groups. each radiograph was assigned to low (≤120°) or high (≥125°) angle groups in terms of th...

Many forestry models require the input of stand size class information, a variable with multiple definitions across forest inventories. This work describes crosswalk between age and for several type groups in Minnesota to facilitate consistency availability latter information. Refinements include ratio adjustments that redistribute number plots (or hectares) from one estimated another, based on...
