Sutherland,Jonathan Stieglitz,Daniel Eid Rodriguez,David E. Michalik,David E. Michalik,Chris J. Rowan,Guido P. Lombardi,Ram Bedi,Angela R. Garcia,James K. Min,Jagat Narula,Caleb E. Finch,Michael Gurven,Michael Gurven,Gregory S. Thomas +23 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that coronary atherosclerosis can be avoided in most people by achieving a lifetime with very low LDL, low blood pressure, low glucose, normal body-mass index, no smoking, and plenty of physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pregnancy Pickle: Evolved Immune Compensation Due to Pregnancy Underlies Sex Differences in Human Diseases.
TL;DR: It is proposed that, ancestrally, sex-specific immune modulation evolved to facilitate survival of the pregnant person in the presence of an invasive placenta and an immunologically challenging pregnancy - an idea known as the 'pregnancy compensation hypothesis' (PCH).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Marine justice is presented as a bridging concept and opportunity for scholars, activists, and policy-makers to combine differing methods of knowledge production and communication to promote and deepen justice in an era of global environmental change, sea level rise, overfishing, ocean acidification, and other coastal and marine issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for height and immune function trade-offs among preadolescents in a high pathogen population.
Angela R. Garcia,Aaron D. Blackwell,Benjamin C. Trumble,Jonathan Stieglitz,Hillard Kaplan,Michael Gurven +5 more
TL;DR: Adaptive immune function is negatively associated with child height in this high pathogen environment in the Bolivian Amazon, and findings question the relevance of height as a universal health marker, given that costs and benefits of height versus immunity may be calibrated to local ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A matter of perception: Perceived socio-economic status and cortisol on the island of Utila, Honduras.
TL;DR: This work examines associations between objective and subjective SES and diurnal salivary cortisol, a primary HPA component, as well as demographic and ecological predictors associated with SES perceptions and changes in diurnal cortisol.
