OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to clarify the association between the degree of development of pregnancy parturition scars (PPSs) and the total number of pregnancies and parturitions (TNPPs) on the basis of new identification standards for PPS in the preauricular area. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preauricular grooves were macroscopically observed on the pelves of 103 early modern males and 295 females (62 early modern females; 233 present-day females). Three categories of PPS in the preauricular area were defined. The association between the degree of development of PPS in the preauricular area and the TNPP was analyzed in 90 present-day females with detailed lifetime data. RESULTS: PPS could not estimate the exact TNPP. However, it was shown that no PPS indicated no TNPP, weak PPS indicated a lower TNPP, and developed PPS indicated a higher TNPP. DISCUSSION: Even though the possibility remains that some PPS indicate no TNPP, the results showed that the percentage of each PPS category indicated fertility in the population, suggesting that the strength of the association between the degree of development of PPS and the TNPP was affected by the classification system, the reliability of lifetime data, and the statistical methods used for analysis
