Research Abstract

Paleopathological findings of about 800 adult Chinese skeletons died between 7000 and 500 years before present were investigated. There were inflammatory joint diseases such as purulent arthritis and oligoarthritis of unknown etiology. Skeletons with definite rheumatoid arthritis or gout were not detected in Chinese series of skeletons, although we found such skeletons in ancient Japanese population. Prevalence of osteoarthritis was very high, especially of spondylosis. The prevalence of hip osteoarthritis in Chinese skeletons seemed to be higher than that in Japanese skeletons. Ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament and ossification of the ligamentum flavum were common in ancient Chinese skeletons.
