Full texts:. Title variants. Languages of publication. The purpose of this work is to present an analysis of cribra orbitalia CO from the population of a medieval cemetery in Vilnius, Lithuania, dated between the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 15th centuries.
The sample consisted of individuals with sufficiently preserved orbits: 82 subadults and adults. CO was correlated with sex, age-at-death, and three skeletal indicators of biological health: linear enamel hypoplasia, periostitis, and adult femur length as a proxy value for stature.
Siler's and Gompertz-Makeham's parametric models of mortality as well as χ2 statistics were used to evaluate these relationships. There was a very strong relationship between the age-at-death and incidence of CO, i. The frequency of CO among the sexes was not statistically significant. On the other hand, CO had a negative effect only on adult males, i. Furthermore, CO and linear enamel hypoplasia were positively related for subadults, whereas no significant relationships were found among adults of corresponding sex.
Incidence of periostitis and adult stature were not related to CO. Celem tej pracy była analizacribra orbitalia CO w populacji ze średniowiecznego Wilna Litwa , zbadanej na podstawie próby szkieletów z cmentarzyska datowanego od końca XIII do początków XV wieku.
Podstawowe charakterystyki paleodemograficzne tej próby osobników, w tym 82 młodocianych zawiera tabela 1. Zbadano korelację CO z płcią, wiekiem w chwili śmierci i trzema kostnymi wyznacznikami zdrowia - hipoplazją szkliwa zębowego LEH , śladami zapalenia okostnej i wysokością ciała dorosłych.
