The infirmity theory, including tooth decay, is not favoured by all researchers; an analysis of teeth and jaws of man-eating lions in museum collections suggests that while tooth decay may explain some incidents, prey depletion in human-dominated areas is a more likely cause of lion predation on humans.<sup id="cite_ref-226" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-226">[225]</a></sup> Sick or injured animals may be more prone to man-eating but the behaviour is not unusual, nor necessarily aberrant.<sup id="cite_ref-227" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-227">[226]</a></sup> </p><p>Lions' proclivity for man-eating has been systematically examined. American and Tanzanian scientists report that man-eating behaviour in rural areas of Tanzania increased greatly from 1990 to 2005. At least 563 villagers were attacked and many eaten over this period.

While the expansion of villages into bush country is one concern, the authors argue conservation policy must mitigate the danger because in this case, conservation contributes directly to human deaths.
