...study we were looking for antibodies to the 1918 flu. This flu virus was reconstructed a number of years ago in the lab, so we were able to test to see if 90 years later we could still find antibodies. I recruited survivors, people who were born in 1915 or earlier and thus presumably survived the 1918 flu. We found that virtually all the people born in 1915 or earlier - about 90% of them - had good "titers" to the 1918 flu, which means they still had reasonably high concentrations of the antibodies in their blood, whereas among controls, people...

...provide more information about age. The skull can also be helpful. Babies are born with an unfused cranium and, as children grow up, a series of sutures come together to seal the gap. In some, however, certain sutures remain open through adulthood, making this an important but hardly conclusive test...
