Gentrification as Secularization: The Status of Religious Belief in the Post-Industrial City
Effects of age and sex on the amount and distribution of mineral in Eskimo tibiae
The bone mineral content (BMC), bone width, and cross‐sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) of 141 Alaskan Eskimo tibias were measured using photon absorptiometry. The effects of age and sex on the bones' structural properties were studied. It was found that in women, BMC decreased by 50% between the third and sixth decades, but that of the males did not decline significantly with age. This was true of the CSMI as well, for bending in both the anter…
The usefulness of mathematical models for bone remodeling
The usefulness of mathematical models for bone remodeling is greatly limited if they are not developed in terms of variables which can be (1) histologically measured, and (2) related to the mechanical properties which determine function. A model is presented which has these advantages and simulates the remodeling of cortical bone by secondary osteons. Demonstrations are given of the usefulness of this model for studying such phenomena as the over…
Osteoarthrosis: Sex‐specific relationship to osteoporosis
Examination of an Eskimo skeletal series demonstrated at least two etiologically distinct groups of joint deterioration divided along sex lines. Low bone mineral content (BMC) among women and high BMC among men were associated with osteoarthrosis on the tibial plateau. This finding contradicts conventional wisdom based on clinical observation, which suggests that reduced skeletal mass prevents osteoarthrosis
