The application of medical scanning technologies to archaeological skeletons provides novel insights into the history and potential causes of osteoporosis. The present study investigated bone mineral density (BMD) in medieval skeletons from England and Norway. Comparisons between the two adult populations found no statistically significant differences. This compares with a modern fracture incidence for the femoral neck in women from Norway that is almost three times that in the UK. The pattern of age-related bone loss in medieval men was similar to that seen in men today. In contrast, the pattern in medieval women differed from that of modern young women. On average, medieval women experienced a decrease in BMD at the femoral neck of approximately 23 per cent between the ages of 22 and 35. These losses were partially recovered by age 45, after which BMD values show a decline consistent with post-menopausal bone loss in modern western women. A possible explanation of the rapid decline in BMD in young medieval women is bone loss in connection with pregnancy and lactation in circumstances of insufficient nutrition.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to review the evidence that osteoporosis and post-menopausal estrogen deficiency are associated with progressive alveolar bone loss and an elevated risk of tooth loss; and (2) to propose the use of tetracyclines, specifically low-dose doxycycline (LDD) (and, perhaps in the future, the chemically modified tetracyclines), to mitigate alveolar bone loss in post-menopausal osteoporotic/osteopenic women. Design concepts for a randomized clinical trial to study the effects of LDD on progressive alveolar bone loss in this patient population are reviewed. Since osteoporosis affects over 20 million people in the United States, progressive alveolar bone loss in this patient group represents a potentially significant public health problem unique from common adult periodontitis. Stopping progressive alveolar bone loss is essential to prevent both tooth loss and micro-architectural deterioration of alveolar bone.
