Life and death in a civitas capital: metabolic disease and trauma in the children from late Roman Dorchester, Dorset.

abstract：:Life history theory predicts a trade-off between immunostimulation and growth. Using a cross-sectional study design, this study aims to test the hypothesis that C-reactive protein (CRP) is negatively associated with height-for-age z-scores (HAZ scores) and BMI-for-age z-scores (BAZ scores) among 6- to 19-year olds (N ...
