Longitudinal changes in juvenile and adolescent body mass indices before, during, and after the Covid ‐19 lockdown in New Zealand
Results are mostly consistent with the "structured days" hypothesis, but challenge the bidirectional hypothesis as defined. Further research better characterizing risks of gains in adiposity are needed
Historical Touchstones and Imagined Futures During Covid-19 in Aotearoa/New Zealand
During the COVID-19 pandemic to date, particular histories have come to serve as touchstones for the pandemic experience. The specific form this historical imagination takes can be significant as it is likely to shape people’s understandings and responses to the pandemic with consequences for official policy, community action and public behaviour. This research examines this imaginative space in Aotearoa/New Zealand’s public media during COVID-19…
Learning from the past and present
In responding to the widespread impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have proposed and implemented documentation policies that confer varying levels of freedoms or restrictions (e.g., ability to travel) based on individuals’ infection status or potential immunity. Most discussions around immunity- or infection-based documentation policies have focused on scientific plausibility, economic benefit, and challenges relating to ethics and equit…
Beyond Mortality
Epidemics and pandemics are typically discussed in terms of morbidity and mortality, susceptibility and immunity, and social responses to and impacts of the immediate epidemic event. Much less attention is paid to the longer-term consequences for individuals and populations in terms of the sequelae of infections, such as blindness after smallpox, deafness due to congenital rubella, and paralysis after polio. This same tendency is observed in the …
Measles and Scarlet Fever Epidemic Synergy and Evolving Pathogenic Virulence in Victoria, Australia, 1853–1916
Four synchronous epidemics of measles and scarlet fever are observed in the historical data collected by colonial authorities in Victoria, Australia from 1853 to 1876, suggesting some sort of synergistic relationship between the two diseases. While epidemics of measles, as recorded by the colonial record keepers, still occurred during the remainder of the study period (until 1916), no further epidemics of scarlet fever occurred after 1876. This i…
Teaching Demography and Community Engagement through a Study of Auckland’s Nineteenth-Century Symonds Street Cemetery
The Symonds Street Cemetery Project was initially suggested by Auckland Council, which desired to learn more about this first-generation colonial urban cemetery in Auckland, New Zealand. Undergraduate students enrolled in an Anthropological Demography course worked in groups to transcribe demographic information from existing gravestones. The undergraduates’ assignment was to develop a demographic profile of one denominational section, comparing …
Biosocial Leanings and Primary Preoccupations
Differences in Polio Mortality by Socioeconomic Status in Two Southern Ontario Counties, 1900–1937
The collective polio literature of the mid-twentieth century developed a model centered on age at infection. In this model, known as the hygiene hypothesis, risk of severe polio increased with socioeconomic status (SES) because higher SES was associated with older age at infection. Rural residence was also linked to increased polio risk due to older age at infection. Crowding and larger family size were associated with earlier age at infection an…

Long bone bilateral asymmetry in the nineteenth-century Stirrup Court Cemetery collection from London, Ontario
This study employs non-destructive methods to investigate patterns of long bone bilateral asymmetry in a skeletal sample from the nineteenth-century peri-urban Stirrup Court Cemetery collection from London, Ontario, Canada. The St. Thomas Cemetery skeletal sample from urban Belleville, Ontario provides additional data for comparison. While one objective of the study is to determine the etiologies of any asymmetries and to identify patterns in wha…
The Ashley Treatment
Questions regarding access to and the use of medical and surgical treatment for people with disabilities revisit themes central to medical anthropology. The "Ashley Treatment" is named after a nine-year-old girl, Ashley, who has extreme physical and cognitive disabilities. The Treatment refers to extensive medical and surgical procedures that are claimed to improve quality of life and prevent future medical problems. The Treatment has stimulated …
