Analysis of Osteoarthritis on Appendicular Joint Surfaces in Known Age and Sex Samples from the Terry and Spitalfields Collections

چکیده
Arthritis is one of the most common manifestations of aging and is the single largest cause of disability in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada among people age 30 years and older. Osteoarthritis of appendicular joint surfaces exhibits alterations of bony tissue in and around the joint surface. The degree to which osteoarthritis of articular surfaces occurs as a function of age and sex can be resolved with cemetery populations of known individuals, such as the Terry (19-20 century) and Spitalfields (17-18 century) collections upon which I report (n = 322; 162 males and 160 females). Using the five point scoring system 0-4 of lipping from the Chicago Standards Guide I ask whether (1) age has an influence on the accumulation of OA; (2) sex differences are present in patterns of OA; and (3) population origin is responsible for explaining intensity of OA.

Knee is a common site of osteoarthritis possibly because it is often subject to trauma.

Actually, osteoarthritis may be a physiologic response to repetitive, longitudinal impulse loading of the joint. Knee proprioception derives from the integration of afferent s...
