A paleoepidemiological approach to the osteological paradox: Investigating stress, frailty and resilience through cribra orbitalia [PDF]

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020
AbstractObjectivesThe Osteological Paradox posits that skeletal lesions may differentially be interpreted as representing resilience or frailty. However, specific consideration of the etiologies and demographic distributions of individual skeletal indicators can inform the criteria on which to differentiate stress, frailty, and resilience.

The intersectional effects of sex and socioeconomic status on risk of mortality in industrializing England

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 3, November 2024.
Abstract Objectives Intersectionality posits that multiple levels of marginalization interact to produce patterns of frailty and mortality, both today and in the past. To investigate how mortality during industrialization was selective with respect to sex and socioeconomic status (SES), this study analyzes data from four burial grounds dated to the ...

High prevalence of adult and nonadult scurvy in an early agricultural transition site from Mainland Southeast Asia was associated with decreased survivorship

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 2, October 2024.
Abstract Objectives The osteological paradox recognizes that the presence of lesions is not always directly related with increased mortality. When combined with the clinical, historical, and epidemiological literature on scurvy, survivorship analysis, a form of statistical analysis to assess the relationship between the presence of diseases in the ...

Using craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry to examine the effects of sex, socioeconomic status, and early life experiences on adult age at death in industrial England

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 1, May 2024.
Landmarks on the skull that were used in this study. Abstract Objectives Historical evidence from 18th‐ and 19th‐century England suggests that industrialization's impacts on health were largely negative, especially among marginalized groups. However, available documentary evidence is often biased toward adult men and rarely sheds light on the ...
