Most of the suggested "age at deaths" for human bones have been shown by
the excavations at the Spitalfields vault in London to be inaccurate -
underestimated  by 20 or more years! [Spittalflields was a Graveyard
excavation and about 1000 of the coffins had engraved plates with the
ages of the deceased. The bones were examined and the ages determined by
the formulae used by anthropologist/archaologists  - when compared with
the engraved plates the archaeologists were found to have consistently
underestimated the age of death]
Osteoporosis was rare at Spittalfields even in the elderly women aged
over 70.[Thought to be beacuse the people had to walk everywhere and
also due to diet high in fish/oysters]
