The impact of environmental stress on minor congenital defects
A sample of 117 adult individuals from the Lisbon Identified Skeletal Collection (aka Luís Lopes Collection) was used to test the association between six minor congenital defects (MCD) and stress markers. The goal was to assess if any of the tested MCD might be considered a useful indicator of stress in early life. The variables included in the study are manubrium mesosternal joint fusion, sternum hyperplasia, sternal aperture, sternal caudal cle…
Minor sternum and vertebral column congenital defects in Lisbon Identified Skeletal Collection
This study has mainly a descriptive aim, in which crude prevalence of minor skeletal congenital defects is calculated and sex differences are tested. Prevalence is compared with other studies to recognize regional patterns. Association with age-at-death and year-of-birth is tested to identify impact of environmental stress on minor congenital defects presence. Testing association between defects will identify defects with a probable identical eti…
Can early-life growth disruptions predict longevity? Testing the association between vertebral neural canal (VNC) size and age-at-death
Age at death and linear enamel hypoplasias
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test the association between linear enamel hypolasias and adult socioeconomic circumstances with age at death in a modern skeletal sample of known age. Specifically, this study wishes to test whether there is a relationship between early life stressors, environmental quality in adult life and premature mortality. METHODS: The presence/absence of LEH and the number of LEH episodes were recorded in 113 adult …
