Due to this kind of lifestyle they may have been prone to diseases such as osteogentic sarcoma, osteomallacia, and lastly osteoporosis as a consequence. For this study, I must look at the femurs of individuals

Through research, time and effort of research studies incipient treatment and other options are available.
