The prevalence of hyperostosis meeting the criteria developed by Arlet and Mazières in skeletons from two of the oldest European necropolises of neolithic farmers was about 10%, i.e., similar to that in a medieval population of comparable demographic structure. This similarity over a greater than 6600-year period suggests that hyperostosis is related to genetic factors.
在来自两个最古老的欧洲新石器时代农民墓地的骨骼中,符合阿莱特和马齐埃制定标准的骨肥厚患病率约为10%,即与人口结构相当的中世纪人群相似。在超过6600年的时间里这种相似性表明骨肥厚与遗传因素有关。
