How the Mid-Victorians Worked, Ate and Died†
Analysis of the mid-Victorian period in the U.K. reveals that life expectancy at age 5 was as good or better than exists today, and the incidence of degenerative disease was 10% of ours. Their levels of physical activity and hence calorific intakes were approximately twice ours. They had relatively little access to alcohol and tobacco; and due to their correspondingly high intake of fruits, who...
متن کاملHarm, tangible or feared: young Victorians' adverse experiences from others' drinking or drug use.
BACKGROUND Harms from alcohol experienced by someone other than the drinker have received increasing attention of late, but have not been compared to harms from others' drug use. The aim of the current study is to compare the reported harms that are attributable to the alcohol use of others to those attributable to drugs, distinguishing between different types of harm in order to highlight how ...
متن کاملThe location of energetic compartments affects energetic communication in cardiomyocytes
The heart relies on accurate regulation of mitochondrial energy supply to match energy demand. The main regulators are Ca(2+) and feedback of ADP and Pi. Regulation via feedback has intrigued for decades. First, the heart exhibits a remarkable metabolic stability. Second, diffusion of ADP and other molecules is restricted specifically in heart and red muscle, where a fast feedback is needed the...
متن کاملThe Victorians were still faster than us. Commentary: Factors influencing the latency of simple reaction time
Citation: Woodley of Menie MA, te Nijenhuis J and Murphy R (2015) The Victorians were still faster than us. Commentary: Factors influencing the latency of simple reaction time. A commentary on Factors influencing the latency of simple reaction time Woods et al. (2015) claim that secular Simple Reaction Time (SRT) slowing (Woodley et al., 2013), disappears once modern studies are corrected for s...
متن کاملEnergetic cost of communication.
Communication signals may be energetically expensive or inexpensive to produce, depending on the function of the signal and the competitive nature of the communication system. Males of sexually selected species may produce high-energy advertisement signals, both to enhance detectability and to signal their size and body condition. Accordingly, the proportion of the energy budget allocated to si...
