Abstract: Objectives: There is paucity of data on age determination from sternum in middle and elderly age groups. In all such cases, while estimating age in middle and elderly age group the forensic experts are facing lot of problem because there are few bones which ossify during this age group and the age calculated gives a bigger range and this study is done with the aim to find out age estimation within short range above thirty years age bracket. This article documents comparison in age of fusion between mesosternum with manubrium sterni and xiphisternum in both the genders based on built and food habits. Methods: Sterna were removed from the cadavers by sectioning the costal cartilages just besides the costo-chondral junction. Results: Out of total hundred sternum studied, seventy were males and thirty were females. In present study, out of the total one hundred samples of sternum retrieved from dead bodies maximum number of cases (22%) were of moderately built in > 60 years age bracket. On statistical analysis fisher’s test value is 5.00 and p- value is 0.550. Maximum number of cases belonged to moderately built in both males and females. On statistical analysis chi square value is 0.760 and p- value is 0.498. None of the studies assessed had studied built of cases while determining age from sternum. Out of the total one hundred sternum samples retrieved from dead bodies 8 (8%) belonged to individuals who are non-vegetarians (19%) in 51-60 years age bracket. On statistical analysis chi- square value is 0.754 and p- value is 0.862. On comparison of male and female maximum number of them are non-vegetarians. On statistical analysis chi- square value is 0.670 and p- value is 0.498. Conclusion: Majority of sternum samples retrieved from dead bodies of individuals brought for postmortem belonged to 51-60 years age group in males and 30-40 years age group in females. Males (70%) outnumbered the females (30%) in this study. Majority of sternum samples belonged to individual who were moderately built and had non-veg food habits.
