“…Radiogrammetry quantifies the amplitude or geometry of cortical bone in tubular bones. It is ineffectual to diagnose osteoporosis at the individual level, but perseveres as a useful tool to evaluate cortical bone loss in epidemiological studies (Yasaku et al 2009;Curate 2014a). Conventional radiogrammetry was used to assess cortical parameters (diaphysis total width [DTW], medullary width [MW] and cortical index [MCI]) at the second metacarpal midpoint (Ives and Brickley 2004).…”

The Muge shell middens of Cabeço da Arruda, Cabeço da Amoreira and Moita do Sebastião (central Portugal) have been key sites of archeological research for 150 years, possibly working as residential sites occupied by semi-sedentary communities during the final Mesolithic. The purposes of this article include the biocultural assessment of metacarpal cortical bone fragility and its associations with age at death, sex, osteoporotic fractures in the Portuguese Mesolithic, as well as a diachronic comparison of cortical bone health in Mesolithic (N=34) and modern reference (N=219) samples. Cortical bone at the Muge shell middens displays age and sex-specific trajectories of periosteal apposition and endosteal bone loss, most likely associated with hormonal and behavioural/cultural influences. Metacarpal endocortical bone loss seems to increase with age at death in females, with a simultaneous expansion of the diaphysis. The overall pattern of cortical bone health is similar to the pattern observed in a reference skeletal collection but elderly women from Muge seem to lose less cortical bone than late 20th century counterparts from Coimbra. Two older males exhibited vertebral compression fractures, but only one is possibly related with bone fragility.

“…Radiogrammetry quantifies the amplitude or geometry of cortical bone in tubular bones (Ives and Brickley, 2004). It is ineffective to evaluate osteoporosis at the individual level, but endures as a valuable tool to assess cortical bone loss in epidemiological settings (Shepherd et al, 2005;Yasaku et al, 2009). At the same time, radiogrammetry is still widely used in studies concerned with specific pathological conditions (Böttcher and Pfeil, 2008).…”

Neste trabalho, pretende-se investigar a fragilidade óssea cortical no fémur com a idade (à morte) e a sua associação ao sexo e à densidade mineral óssea. Os parâmetros radiogramétricos do fémur e a densidade mineral óssea no fémur proximal foram avaliados numa amostra de indivíduos adultos (N=98) da Coleção de Esqueletos Identificados da Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal). A largura total da diáfise (LTD), o índice cortical do fémur (FEMCI) e a densidade mineral óssea (DMO) são significativamente maiores nos homens, enquanto a largura medular (LM) não é estatisticamente diferente entre os sexos. Os parâmetros corticais da diáfise do fémur encontram-se associados à idade apenas nas mulheres; por seu lado, a DMO declina com a idade em ambos os sexos. A avaliação do osso cortical do fémur revela trajetórias sexuais específicas de perda óssea endosteal e aposição periosteal, que têm origem em diferenças sexuais no grau e padrão de perda de osso, bem como no tamanho ósseo. Nas mulheres, a perda endocortical de osso aumenta com a idade, particularmente nos anos peri- e pós-menopáusicos, desacelerando mais tarde. De forma concomitante, a acreção de osso na superfície subperiosteal persiste durante a vida adulta – equilibrando parcialmente a fragilidade óssea nas mulheres. A resistência óssea a meio da diáfise do fémur parece ser preservada durante grande parte da vida em ambos os sexos.
