Age-at-death estimation is influenced by biological and environmental factors. Physiological stress is intertwined with these factors, yet their impact on senescence and age estimation is unknown. Stature, linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), and antemortem tooth loss (AMTL) in the Hamann–Todd Osteological Collection (n = 297) are used to understand whe...

Context 1
... sample for this study (n = 297) was generated randomly from the list of individuals in the HTOC (Figure 1). Incomplete individuals were excluded, since evidence suggests TA age estimates are less accurate when fewer skeletal traits are available for scoring [11,24]. ...
Context 2
... depicted in Figure 10, a relatively strong correlation exists between known ageat-death and AMTL frequency (r = 0.626, p < 0.001), accounting for approximately 37% of variation in AMTL frequency. Spearman's correlation of age-at-death and AMTL for each population group produced similar results (Table 7). ...
