It is now generally accepted that anemia, most probably an iron deficiency anemia, is the etiologic factor responsible for lesion production. Although there can be a number of factors involved in the development of iron deficiency anemia, a dietary explanation has often been invoked to explain the occurrence of porotic hyperostosis in past human skeletal populations. In fact, porotic hyperostosis has been referred to as a \u201cnutritional\u201d stress indicator. Traditionally those groups with a higher incidence of porotic hyperostosis have been considered to be less successful in adapting to their environment or more nutritionally disadvantaged than other groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>A new perspective is emerging that is challenging previous views of the role of iron in health and disease, thus having profound implications for the understanding of porotic hyperostosis. There is a new appreciation of the adaptability and flexibility of iron metabolism; as a result it has become apparent that diet plays a very minor role in the development of iron deficiency anemia. It is now understood that, rather than being detrimental, hypoferremia (deficiency of iron in the blood) is actually an adaptation to disease and microorganism invasion. When faced with chronic and\/or heavy pathogen loads individuals become hypoferremic as part of their defense against these pathogens, thus increasing their susceptibility to iron deficiency anemia. Within the context of this new perspective porotic hyperostosis is seen not as a nutritional stress indicator, but as a indication that a population is attempting to adapt to the pathogen load in its environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330870105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,9]],"date-time":"2005-08-09T08:58:35Z","timestamp":1123577915000},"page":"39-47","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":192,"title":["Porotic hyperostosis: A new perspective"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Patty","family":"Stuart\u2010Macadam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.153.3737.760"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00438243.1972.9979522"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"10","article-title":"Porotic hyperostosis in the Eastern Mediterranean","volume":"14","author":"Angel JL","year":"1978","journal-title":"Med.
