Biochemical measurements of bone turnover are helpful in the study of the pathophysiology
of skeletal metabolism and growth. However, interpretation of their results is difficult because …

Several factors have been found recently to have a significant impact on newborn bone
mineral content (BMC) and developing fetal bone. Recently we showed that maternal …

This study integrates isotopic, palaeopathological, and historical evidence to investigate
infant and young child feeding practices in a Roman period (1st to 3rd centuries AD) skeletal …
