Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2007.

A sample of 97 human skeletal remains from Ireland were examined to investigate the etiology of spina bifida, a form of neural tube defect. It is unclear whether the disease results from environmental or genetic causes. Collections of human remains from three sites dated to nineteenth century were studied in an attempt to identify the period during which the prehistoric rates of spina bifida rose to modern levels. In these collections, nineteenth century spina bifida rates were higher than either prehistoric or modern rates. Thus, nineteenth century Ireland experienced peak rates of spina bifida. Nutrition in modern day Ireland has vastly improved, and the frequency of spina bifida has decreased; however, the amount of neural tube defects has not diminished to rates found in the United States or even England. Inquiry into Ireland's connection with spina bifida will increase understanding of the persistence of high rates in modern times.
