Answer:

By analyzing the pelvis bone (sex determination) and the length of the diaphyseal bone and nonsynovial joints (age determination of non-adult skeletons and adult skeletons, respectively)

Explanation:

Bioarchaeologists are professionals that study human skeletons from archaeological sites. Bioarchaeologists can estimate the age and sex of human skeletons and thus determine the health and dynamics of past human populations. In regard to sex determination, the pelvis is a bone that can be used to estimate the sex of an individual with an accuracy higher than 95%. In regard to the age, characteristics associated with bone growth such as, for example, the length of the diaphyseal bone, can be good indicators to estimate the age of non-adult skeletons, while nonsynovial joints (i.e. joints without a synovial membrane) which are commonly called synarthroses or solid joints, can be used to estimate the age of adult skeletons.

La OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) definió a la salud como "el estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, y no
seropon [69]

Answer:

La definición de salud de la OMS establece que la salud no es solo la ausencia de enfermedad sino que también es estar bien mentalmente, físicamente y socialmente. Esta definición no abarca solo curar a una persona cuando esté enferma, también habla sobre la prevención de la enfermedad manteniendo una vida equilibrada en lo que concierne a lo físico, mental y social.

La definición de salud de la OPS es mucho más estrecha. Esta solo incluye la adaptación de la persona a su medio, lo cual si lo comparamos con la definición de la OMS este concepto podría entrar dentro del bienestar físico, mental y social. Podemos ver que no se refiere específicamente a la enfermedad y que la ausencia de esta sería por una adaptación exitosa de la persona. A su vez la adaptación es una forma de prevenir la ausencia de salud según la definición de la OPS.

Explanation:

La Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. son dos entidades que se especializan en la salud a nivel internacional. La OPS actualmente forma parte de la OMS ya que es una oficina para la región americana de la OMS. Estas dos organizaciones empezaron por separado y tienen definiciones de salud diferentes pero podemos ver que ambas trabajan para prevenir y curar enfermedades.
