Little is known about the possible impact of socioeconomic status on bone health in medieval Norway.

We measured bone mineral density in the skeletal remains of females from five medieval burial sites in Eastern Norway representing distinct socioeconomic groups by comparing results from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and osteological analysis. Young adult females of high status were taller than parish population females ( cm, p = ), although their femoral neck bone mineral density did not differ significantly between the two groups (p = ).

We found that the parish population fema
