摘要: Bone loss is a serious consequence of the aging process in humans and observed both modern archaeological populations. A severe manifestation bone loss, or osteopenia, can cause mechanical incompetence skeletal system lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis associated with an increase morbidity mortality decrease enjoyment life. Age-associated affects all people, regardless sex, socioeconomic status, ethnic background.

Study inherent disparities incidence prevalence osteoporosis between past populations, as well among may reveal biocultural evolutionary factors
