Haversian canal-to-osteon ratios pooled vs. paired technique dataset
This dataset contains raw measurements of 551 secondary osteons and their corresponding Haversian canals taken from 38 midshaft femur histology slides. It includes both paired and pooled area values used to evaluate how different averaging techniques influence Haversian canal–to–osteon ratio calculations and interpretations of bone remodelling activity.

Articles used in literature review investigating interdisciplinarity of secondary osteons
We recorded 622 articles in PubMed that spanned anatomy, (bio)medicine, biomechanics, orthopaedic surgery and engineering, dentistry, veterinary science, forensic science, zooarchaeology, bioarchaeology, and palaeontology, that concerned secondary osteon measurements.

Want to collaborate?

This project is interdisciplinary and it welcomes researchers from all sorts of disciplines concerned with osteoporosis and bone remodelling, including biology, biomedicine, (biological) anthropology, (biological) archaeology, sociology, and anyone researching social determinants of health and bone through evolutionary biology lens. Please do not hesitate to get in touch!
