Biological aging and Cox hazard analysis of mortality trends in a Mennonite community from south-central Kansas

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate mortality in the rural Goessel Mennonite community of south central Kansas, in order to determine what biological risk factors might be affecting this population. The results indicate a potential underreporting of underlying causes of death, including decreased amounts of albumin in men leading to chronic kidney disease and frailty that might be associated with an aging population.

Human cold adaptation: An unfinished agenda

Article Abstract:

The human cold adaptation is analyzed within the environmental human biology. It is suggested that the behavior, bodily insulation and type of activity should be considered while understanding human response to climate.
