Abstract

Although a number of studies have been performed on interpopulational variation of tooth wear patterns in recent humans, the major interest in the study of tooth wear so far has been in reconstructing the subsistence and behavior of prehistoric populations, and hence research on wear pattern changes in historic times has been superficial. The present study investigated temporal change in the pattern of wear on the permanent dentition of the Japanese through comparison of the following five groups: prehistoric hunter-gatherers, prehistoric agriculturists, medieval, premodern, and recent populations. The pattern of reduction of occlusal wear severity across these chronological groups was not similar between the anterior and posterior portions of the dentition. Occlusal wear on the anterior teeth was noticeably lighter in the prehistoric agriculturists and later populations than in the prehistoric hunter-gatherers, while clear reduction of occlusal wear on the posterior teeth occurred after medieval times. The temporal variations in the degree of mesiodistal crown diameter loss due to wear and its anterior-posterior gradient within the dentition are generally consistent with those observed in the occlusal wear pattern. Possible causative factors of these temporal changes in the wear pattern are discussed. KEY WORDS: attrition; interproximal tooth wear; temporal change; dental anthropology

Abstract

Age-specific models of marriage prevalence were computed utilizing pooled cross-sectional data from current censuses and wage surveys to examine whether rapid changes in the marital behavior of Japanese women indicate delayed marriage or an increase in the percentage of those who will remain single. Findings revealed that higher salaries for women, higher educational attainment and recency of cohort are related to lower marital prevalence at ages 30-34 which is in agreement with increasing nonmarriage.
