The pubic symphysis undergoes changes as a person ages, such as the formation of bone spurs, fusion of cartilage, and changes in shape. These changes can be used to estimate the age of death of an adult. The other bones listed may also provide information about age, but the pubic symphysis is considered the most reliable.
