    There is a chart for males and another for females with possible bone ages ranging from 1 month to 5 years. [24] Since most of the ossification centers counted using this technique appear early in life, this method is only valid for measuring bone age up to around 5 years of age. [24]

    For instance, a 2020 study indicates that the global mean loss of life expectancy (LLE) from air pollution in 2015 was 2.9 years, substantially more than, for example, 0.3 years from all forms of direct violence, albeit a significant fraction of the LLE (a measure similar to years of potential life lost) is considered to be unavoidable.
