The present study determined the lead concentration in bone tissue from 40 prehistoric individuals of Gran Canaria, and in a sample of 19 modern day residents of the Canary Islands. Higher bone lead values were observed in the modern sample (18.65 +/- 12.13 &mgr;g/g dry bone tissue) than in the ancient sample (4.41 +/- 3.45 &mgr;g/g dry bone tissue, P < 0.001). Older individuals showed higher bone lead values than younger individuals, but only in the modern group. The correlation between age and bone lead approached statistical significance (P = 0.058). Low bone lead observed in the prehistoric sample suggests a low lead exposure in prehispanic times in Gran Canaria. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 11:405-410, 1999. Copyright 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
本研究测定了大加那利岛40名史前个体的骨组织中的铅浓度，以及19名加那利群岛现代居民样本中的铅浓度。现代样本（18.65±12.13μg/g干骨组织）中的骨铅值高于古代样本（4.41±3.45μg/g干骨组织，P<0.001）。年长者的骨铅值高于年轻者，但仅在现代组中如此。年龄与骨铅之间的相关性接近统计学显著性（P = 0.058）。在史前样本中观察到的低骨铅表明，在大加那利岛的西班牙前时期铅暴露较低。《美国人类生物学杂志》11:405 - 410，1999年。版权所有1999年威利 - 利斯公司。
