Can We Generalize About the Mortality Features of the 1918‐19 Influenza Pandemic? An Examination of a Small‐Scale and Isolated British Columbian Population
OBJECTIVES: In this paper we use the small-scale population of the Fort George area (located in the central interior of British Columbia, Canada) to test the applicability of the three signature mortality features of the 1918/19 influenza pandemic: mortality rates higher than those in preceding influenza epidemics except for the elderly; rapidly recurring waves; and W-shaped age mortality distribution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Death records from th…
The emergence of a suburban penalty during the 1918/19 influenza pandemic in Malta
The Malta 1918/19 influenza experience adds to our understanding of the pandemic by illustrating the importance of suburban populations, their vulnerabilities, and elevated mortality rates. Studies on the socio-geographical variation in the 1918/19 influenza mortality has largely overlooked the suburban experience, and thus the often-hidden heterogeneity of the disease experience is missing. A comparison of mortality rates across the three settle…
Overlooking the Canadian Indigenous demographic data
Assessing a syndemic
Managing an epidemic in imperfect times
box As the COVID-19 pandemic surpasses a year for many populations around the world, there has been renewed interest in what the future holds for new and innovative non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as an interest in measures of the past and how they have evolved over time. While considerable attention has been placed on contrasts and parallels with the 1918/1919 influenza pandemic, one may ask are there any valuable lessons that we can le…
Revisiting the Origins and the Early History of the Gibraltar Macaques
The Gibraltar macaques are a transplanted species that originated in the Barbary States (Morocco and Algeria). Their origin on the Rock under British rule dates back to the eighteenth century, but most likely preceded the British period. We question the argument that the reason for the introduction of monkeys to Gibraltar was based on hunting the species for sport. Rather, we argue that the presence of macaques may have arisen for multiple reason…
Deconstructing the 1918-1919 Influenza Pandemic in the Maltese Islands
This study examines the morbidity experience of the island populations of Malta and Gozo during the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic. The epidemic pattern for the two islands showed considerable diversity that was manifested in Gozo's lack of a herald wave and significantly higher morbidity rates during wave 2 (September-November 1918), followed by a distinctly muted pattern of morbidity in wave 3 relative to Malta. Common features or noncontributory…
Situating mortality
A wide range of stressors can cause a dramatic and sudden rise in the death rate in populations, typically resulting in what is referred to as crisis mortality. Here we present a method to standardize the assessment of identifying moments of crises. A modification of the mortality Z ‐score methodology which is combined with time series analysis was used to investigate mortality events over the course of nearly two centuries for two populations: G…
The Jewish Advantage and Household Security
Infant and juvenile growth in ancestral Pueblo Indians
The present study examines patterns of infant and juvenile growth in a diachronic sample of ancestral Pueblo Indians (AD 1300–1680) from the American Southwest. An assessment of growth patterns is accompanied by an evaluation of pathological conditions often considered to be indicators of nutritional deficiencies and/or gastrointestinal infections. Growth patterns and the distribution of pathological conditions are interpreted relative to cultura…
