Continuity and individuality in Medieval Hereford, England: A stable isotope approach to bulk bone and incremental dentine
Birthweight and mortality in adulthood: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Colonial health transitions: Aboriginal and ‘poor white’ infant mortality compared, Victoria 1850–1910
This paper presents results from the first two longitudinal historical cradle-to-grave datasets constructed in Australia: the Aboriginal population of the state of Victoria, reconstituted using genealogical research and vital registrations, 1835-1930; and an impoverished European population sample born at the Melbourne Lying-In Hospital, 1857-1900 and traced until 1985. It investigates the comparative infant mortality between these two severely d…
Colonialism and the health transition: Aboriginal Australians and poor whites compared, Victoria, 1850–1985
This paper presents the results of the first two longitudinal historical cradle-to-grave datasets constructed in Australia: the Aboriginal population of the state of Victoria, reconstituted backwards using genealogical research and vital registrations, 1835–1930; and an impoverished European population born at the Melbourne Lying-In Hospital, 1857–1900 and traced until 1985. It investigates the hypothesis that the health transition in indigenous …
Inequalities of Gender and Health 1857–1985: A Long‐run Perspective from the Melbourne Lying‐In Hospital Birth Cohort
This paper reviews the Australian historical record in health and gender inequalities since the mid nineteenth century through to the end of the twentieth century, using survival data from an historical cohort of impoverished people born in the Melbourne Lying‐In Hospital between 1857 and 1900. This data reveals the long shadow cast by disadvantage in early life and the critical importance of secure households in supporting infancy and childhood.…
A health transition: Birth weights, households and survival in an Australian working-class population sample born 1857-1900
The influence of early diet on later development
The possibility that early nutrition has long term consequences in man has been much debated. There have been limited opportunities to perform formal randomised studies on the effect of early nutrition in man and many studies have been flawed by problems with study design. Infants born preterm are a special group. At the start of this study in 1982 evidence on which to base choice of diet was inconsistent and related only to short term outcome, a…
