Skeletal age calculator aims to better identify individuals at risk of bone fractures
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed a computational model to calculate skeletal age , a personalized estimate of an individual s risk of bone fracture and premature death.
The skeletal age calculator, which will be accessible to doctors and health professionals, aims to better identify those at risk of a first bone fracture and subsequent fractures, and also estimates how fractures impact life expectancy.
Osteoporosis, a disease which reduces bone strength and increases bone fracture risk, is a major national health issue and estimated to affect over 900,000 Australians. The cost of osteoporosis and fracture in Australia is $3.4 billion annually.
A new paper published in the
American Journal of Physical Anthropology presents the results of a study of the bones of “314 individuals dating from the 10
th to the 14
th century,” excavated from three burial sites in Cambridge. The skeletal samples were taken from a parish graveyard where working people were buried, a hospital graveyard where the infirm and destitute were buried, and from an Augustinian friary where wealthy sponsors were interred beside rich clergymen. The researchers studied the levels of skeletal trauma in the skeletons, which they say indicated the hardship endured in life.” Their paper concludes that “ social inequality is recorded on the bones of Cambridge’s medieval residents”.
