“…For these reasons, one may find in anthropological literature numerous works dealing with the estimation of bone loss based on the examination of the metacarpus. In their studies, particular researchers focused on the following issues: development of the metacarpus (Wolań ski, 1967;Bonnard, 1968;Himes et al, 1975;Kimura, 1978;Becker, 1984;Plato et al, 1984), estimation of the stature based on the measurements of metacarpals in children and adult individuals (Musgrave & Harneja, 1978;Kimura, 1992), estimation of age at death Karasik et al, 1999), effect of climatic conditions on radiomorphometric characteristics of the metacarpus Belkin et al, 1998), methodology of radiometric examination, with particular attention paid to variability and correlations between particular metacarpals and phalanxes (Anderson et al, 1966;Chumlea et al, 1984;Kušec et al, 1990;Garn, 1991;Lazenby, 1995), research, including comparative analyses on the nature and intensity of bone tissue involution (Smith & Rizek, 1966;Spencer et al, 1966;Morgan et al, 1967;Plato & Norris, 1980;Plato et al, 1982;Kušec et al, 1988;Kušec, 1989;Mišigoj-Duraković, 1992).…”

Age-dependent cortical bone loss was studied in two mediaeval Polish populations differing with regard to socio-economic status, as well as the intensity of the occurrence of skeletal indicators of living conditions in the early stages of ontogenesis (compression of the skull base and the narrowing of the lumbar vertebral canal). Cortical bone loss was analysed on the basis of the radiographs of the second metacarpal. Cedynia population (better living conditions) is characterized by higher arithmetic means for the height of the skull base in comparison with Słaboszewo group (low socio-economic status). In the case of the vertebral canal index, significant interpopulation differences apply only to men. Similar patterns of difference between groups under study regarding bone loss was also found. It turned out that males from Cedynia had more bone mass in adultus and maturus age categories; in females, these differences concern only adultus category. The study involved an analysis of a relationship between the characteristics measuring reactions to environmental stress in early stages of growth and the intensity of bone loss in adult life. We believe that the results presented justify a conclusion that both phenomena may be interrelated to a considerable degree.

“…Radiographic cortical bone thickness is a well-recognized valuable method for assessing bone biology, and has long been used as a measure of skeletal mass [4,10,12,15,16,29,30,39,40,42]. Cortical thickness is measured as the amount of bone tissue present between the periosteal and endosteal surfaces.…”

The genetic influences on bone mass likely change throughout the life span, but most genetic studies of bone mass regulation have focused on adults. There is, however, a growing awareness of the importance of genes influencing the acquisition of bone mass during childhood on lifelong bone health. The present investigation examines genetic influences on childhood bone mass by estimating the residual heritabilities of different measures of second metacarpal bone mass in a sample of 600 10-year-old participants from 144 families in the Fels Longitudinal Study. Bivariate quantitative genetic analyses were conducted to estimate genetic correlations between cortical bone mass measures, and measures of bone growth and development. Using a maximum likelihood-based variance components method for pedigree data, we found a residual heritability estimate of 0.71 for second metacarpal cortical index. Residual heritability estimates for individual measures of cortical bone (e.g., lateral cortical thickness, medial cortical thickness) ranged from 0.47 to 0.58, at this prepubertal childhood age. Low genetic correlations were found between cortical bone measures and both bone length and skeletal age. However, after Bonferonni adjustment for multiple testing, ρ G was not significantly different from 0 for any of these pairs of traits. Results of this investigation provide evidence of significant genetic control over bone mass largely independent of maturation while bones are actively growing and before rapid accrual of bone that typically occurs during puberty.

“…This model proved to be the most parsimonious and best fitting. The logistic model of OSS on age was found to be the most predictive in several other modern populations (Karasik et al, 1999). The curves of bone changes related to age, as measured by OSS, are nearly identical in males and females (Kobyliansky et al, 1995(Kobyliansky et al, , 1996.…”

“…Hand roentgenography provides several types of age assessment, including osteometric measurements (OSM; i.e., measures of length and breadth of bones and their cortical thickness), and osteographic scores (OSS), or descriptive criteria of bone age (Kobyliansky et al, 1995). Roentgenographic skeletal measurements of age at death are easy enough to perform, relatively inexpensive within large samples, and highly reliable (Kobyliansky et al, 1995(Kobyliansky et al, , 1996Karasik et al, 1999).…”

The Natufian population of Israel was first described by Garrod in 1932, and since then hundreds of skeletons have been discovered in archaeological excavations. Their culture is amply discussed in the literature as designating the transitional stage between extractive and productive subsistence economics in the period ca. 13,000-10,000 years BP. The Natufians represent a local population with strong biologic ties to the more ancient Upper Paleolithic inhabitants of the area. The scope of the present study is to review, on the basis of new skeletal material and new age-assessing methods, the age and sex tables attributed to this group, which usually indicate a mean age of death around 32 years.
