The number of published studies using geometric morphometrics (GM) for analysing
biological shape has increased steadily since the beginning of the 1990s, covering multiple …

Analyses of human skeletal shape and geometry are used to investigate questions related to
habitual activities and physical lifeways, as well as biological distance and relatedness …

This study examined the simultaneous impact of multiple underlying factors on OA
expression in weight-bearing joints of the vertebrae and lower limb of a modern European …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to demonstrate advantages of principal component

Abstract Objective Skeletal populations from Byblos, Beirut, and Tyre were studied to assess
mechanical stress along the Roman Phoenician coast. Materials The sample included 153 …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a marker of degeneration within the skeleton, frequently associated
with age. This study quantifies the correlation between OA and age‐at‐death and …
