Although First World War battles did not directly affect the territory of all participating states, the conflict brought suffering in the form of a decline in their inhabitants' economic situation. This was also true in the Czech Lands. Opportunities for studying the impact of the period's difficult living conditions on the human body are very limited. This study presents pilot research into the possible influence of the wartime environment on children's lives through the example of a 10-year-old boy (1907–1917) from a family of landowners. The circumstances of his death and burial, demonstrated in coffin adjustment, confirm that the war influenced conditions at the time. We therefore considered the possible osteological and nutritional manifestations of the stress of that time, such as difference between biological and chronological age, the presence of skeletal developmental anomalies, signs of nonspecific stress in the form of linear enamel hypoplasia and Harris lines, and diet, also in the family context. The results showed no significant difference between the boy's biological and chronological ages nor body height disorder. There were seven developmental anomalies on his skeleton, some also found in other family members, which supports documented family relationships. Co-occurrence of signs of nonspecific stress and isotopic shifts were also found, indicating the possible presence of nutritional stress before his wartime death.

波希米亚 Vetlá 公墓一名 10 岁男孩(1907-1917)的饮食和健康反映了第一次世界大战造成的不利生活条件

虽然第一次世界大战的战斗没有直接影响所有参与国的领土,但冲突以其居民经济状况下降的形式带来了痛苦。在捷克土地上也是如此。研究那个时期艰难的生活条件对人体的影响的机会非常有限。本研究以一个地主家庭的 10 岁男孩(1907-1917 年)为例,对战时环境对儿童生活可能产生的影响进行了试点研究。他的死亡和埋葬情况,在棺材调整中表现出来,证实了战争影响了当时的情况。因此,我们考虑了当时压力的可能的骨骼和营养表现,例如生物学年龄和实际年龄之间的差异、骨骼发育异常的存在、线性釉质发育不全和哈里斯线形式的非特异性压力迹象,以及饮食,也在家庭环境中。结果表明,男孩的生理年龄和实际年龄以及身高障碍之间没有显着差异。他的骨骼有七处发育异常,其中一些也在其他家庭成员中发现,这支持记录在案的家庭关系。还发现了非特异性压力和同位素变化的迹象同时出现,表明在他战时死亡之前可能存在营养压力。结果表明,男孩的生理年龄和实际年龄以及身高障碍之间没有显着差异。他的骨骼有七处发育异常,其中一些也在其他家庭成员中发现,这支持记录在案的家庭关系。还发现了非特异性压力和同位素变化的迹象同时出现,表明在他战时死亡之前可能存在营养压力。结果表明,男孩的生理年龄和实际年龄以及身高障碍之间没有显着差异。他的骨骼有七处发育异常,其中一些也在其他家庭成员中发现,这支持记录在案的家庭关系。还发现了非特异性压力和同位素变化的迹象同时出现,表明在他战时死亡之前可能存在营养压力。
