There is a growing interest in the ways in which biological and socioeconomic heritage can shape vulnerabilities to disease. Once viewed as primarily a product of recent conditions such as lifestyle choices, it is now evident that health outcomes can also be shaped by intergenerational mechanisms. Analysis of these in current populations is impractical given the considerable time it would take for a prospective study to unfold. The analysis of historical populations, however, presents an opportunity to circumvent this obstacle. Using data for male and female convicts and their descendants, this project seeks to determine the extent to which disadvantage experienced by one generation impacted on the life expectancy of those that followed.

人们越来越关注生物和社会经济遗产如何影响对疾病的脆弱性。健康结果曾经被视为主要是生活方式选择等近期条件的产物，现在很明显，代际机制也可以影响健康结果。鉴于开展前瞻性研究需要相当长的时间，在当前人群中分析这些是不切实际的。然而，对历史种群的分析提供了绕过这一障碍的机会。该项目利用男性和女性罪犯及其后代的数据，力求确定一代人所经历的不利处境对下一代人预期寿命的影响程度。
