The Hyoid Bone as an Indicator of Age and Sex: A Cross-Sectional Study Using CT Imaging

Introduction:The hyoid bone, a unique U-shaped structure in the anterior neck, plays a vital role in swallowing, phonation, and airway protection.Unlike other bones, it does not articulate with any other skeletal structure.Age-related fusion between its body and greater cornua, along with changes in bone density, may serve as indicators of biological aging and sex differentiation.However, population-based, CT-driven evaluations of these parameters remain limited.
