Terrain variations and entheseal changes among prehispanic populations from Córdoba (Argentina)

Recently, it has been discussed whether the entheseal changes are only due to repetitive physical movements or activities that generate overload. According to Acosta et al. (2017) its manifestation would be influenced by the morphological characteristics of the terrain, with a lower frequency of ent...

According to Acosta et al. (2017) its manifestation would be influenced by the morphological characteristics of the terrain, with a lower frequency of entheseal changes among the individuals of mountainous terrain, due to a better adaptation to the biomechanical loads. The objective of the present work is to study the frequency of entheseal changes in an archaeological sample (61 individuals) from the Hills and Plains regions in the province of Córdoba (Argentina) by applying two recording methods; and to compare these results with those previously obtained when analyzing degenerative changes. The proposal of Acosta et al. (2017) is also discussed.Prevalences of entheseal changes in four entheses of the lower limb were calculated and statistical tests were performed (Odds ratios, X2). The results suggest that individuals were more affected in the Plains area, although this could be explained both by an adaptation to the biomechanical load or by a more classic view related to the repetition of demanding physical activities. En años recientes se ha discutido si los cambios entesiales son sólo producto de movimientos físicos repetitivos o de actividades que generan sobrecarga. De acuerdo con Acosta et al. (2017) su manifestación en los miembros inferiores estaría influenciada por las características morfológicas del terreno, con una menor frecuencia de cambios entesiales entre los individuos de terrenos montañosos, debido a una mejor adaptación a las cargas biomecánicas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la frecuencia de cambios entesiales para una muestra arqueológica (61 individuos) de las regiones de Sierras y Llanuras de la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina), aplicando dos metodologías de registro; a la vez que comparar estos resultados con los obtenidos previamente para cambios degenerativos de las articulaciones. Interesa, además, discutir los resultados en relación con la propuesta de Acosta et al. (2017). Se calcularon prevalencias porcentuales de la presencia de cambios en cuatro entesis de miembros inferiores y se realizaron tests estadísticos (Odds ratios, X2). Los resultados sugieren que la afectación sería algo mayor en Llanuras, aunque ello podría explicarse tanto desde un punto de vista adaptativo a la carga biomecánica, como desde una visión más clásica referida a la repetición de actividades físicas exigentes.
