Descrição: Osteoporosis is currently one of the leading diseases affecting people over the age of 50 in contemporary Western societies, with increasing economic medical impact. What is the antiquity of age‐related bone loss and fracture, and did the patterns observed today occur in the past? This chapter covers the structure of normal bone and the processes of remodeling, followed by details on methods of assessing bone loss in archaeological skeletons. The role of physical activity, reproduction, diet, and nutrition are explored in the context of different subsistence strategies ranging from the high‐protein diets of hunter‐gatherers to the high‐carbohydrate diets of agricultural populations.
