Osteoma of the zygomatic bone from 16th century Sardinia (Italy) in the framework of a paleoepidemiological study

International Journal of Paleopathology, 2022
The aim of this paper is to evaluate a case of osteoma of the zygomatic bone in a post-medieval individual in the context of a paleoepidemiological approach.Forty-five skulls from the plague cemetery of Alghero (Sardinia, Italy), dating back to the end of the 16th century, were evaluated for the presence of osteomata on the outer surface of the cranial

More than metabolic: Considering the broader paleoepidemiological impact of vitamin D deficiency in bioarchaeology

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2016
ABSTRACTVitamin D deficiency has traditionally been viewed as a metabolic bone disease by bioarchaeologists and considered primarily in terms of the development of specific musculoskeletal changes used for diagnosis in paleopathological research. These skeletal manifestations are usually interpreted as representing general ill‐health. Clinical research

Paleoepidemiology

The field of paleoepidemiology utilizes epidemiological and bioarchaeological methods and theoretical frameworks to examine aggregate patterns of disease and other health outcomes in past populations. Paleoepidemiological studies most often use data gathered from the skeletal remains of deceased individuals to investigate the origin and antiquity of ...

Spina bifida in a pre-Columbian Cuban population: A paleoepidemiological study of genetic and dietary risk factors

International Journal of Paleopathology, 2013
A holistic approach is necessary to investigate health in archeological populations. Molecular techniques, particularly multiplex PCR and SNaPshot minisequencing, can be combined with paleopathology and dietary analysis (stable isotope, starch, zooarchaeological analyses) to understand aspects of population health.

A paleoepidemiologic study of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.

Joint bone spine, 2000
To investigate the prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) in ancient populations.We studied 38 women and 61 men aged at least 30 years at death, whose remains were recovered from four cemeteries of the High Middle Ages (VIth to VIIIth century) located in Lorraine (eastern France).
