Odds ratios for increase (or decrease) in premature mortality (aged <45 and <30) associated with one standard deviation increase in bone length (models controlling for sex alone and for burial phase and sex)
| OR (95% CI) of dying before age 30, for a 1 SD increase in bone length | OR (95% CI) of dying before age 45, for a 1 SD increase in bone length | ||||||
