Yugoslav Mesolithic dentition exhibits maximum mesiodistal reduction compared with contemporary European and North African groups. This reduction is not explained entirely by attrition, and may be seen as a continuation of the European Upper Paleolithic trend. Buccolingual dimension does not reduce as much. In fact, this dimension in premolars and molars is larger than in other groups. This observation also occurs in Natufians, who were grain collectors, hunters, and gatherers. The Yugoslav Mesolithic group was collecting and domesticating Cerelia as well as fishing and hunting. Linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH) indicate childhood stress through the fifth year, which corroborates previously reported incidence of rickets in this group. The central maxillary incisors and canines manifest higher degrees of LEH, but the appearance on the second molars suggest a more severe physiological disruption. Sex differences in distributions of alveolar resorption and calculus suggest differences in diet or nutritional stress. Previous reports indicate that females had higher incidence of osteomalacia. If so, female nutritional stress may explain the extreme mesiodistal reduction and minimal sexual dimorphism in this group.
与当代欧洲和北非群体相比，南斯拉夫中石器时代的牙列在近远中径上缩小到了极致。这种缩小不能完全归因于磨耗，可视为欧洲旧石器时代晚期趋势的延续。颊舌径缩小程度没那么大。实际上，前磨牙和磨牙的这一尺寸比其他群体更大。这种情况在纳图夫人中也有出现，他们是谷物采集者、猎人及采集者。南斯拉夫中石器时代群体则既采集和驯化黍类，也从事捕鱼和狩猎。线性釉质发育不全（LEH）表明该群体在五岁前童年时期承受过压力，这证实了此前报道的该群体佝偻病发病率。上颌中切牙和尖牙的LEH程度更高，但第二磨牙上的情况表明生理紊乱更为严重。牙槽骨吸收和牙结石分布的性别差异表明饮食或营养压力存在差异。此前报告显示女性患骨软化症的发病率更高。如果是这样，女性的营养压力可能解释了该群体近远中径极度缩小以及性别二态性极小的现象。
