Exploring the inclusion of developmental stress trajectories on past adult mortality patterns: Quantifying skeletal plasticity and adult mortality risk in post‐medieval London using a probability tree model
Abstract:Sufficient evidence supports arguments that early life conditions can influence adult morbidity and mortality in the past and present. Critical periods in which individuals are more susceptible to stressors leading to long-term effects vary, but how often and to what degree these long-term effects occur is less certain. To evaluate skeletal stress markers that fully develop during different life history stages (i.e., childhood and adolescence) and explore their influence on adult morbidity and mortality, we co… Show more
