Is there any evidence that it reflects different populations? i.e. decadent city living produces less healthy doing more reproducing, rather than environmental factors

It says only "the pattern is repeated more or less clearly in nearly all regional subsets, which would argue against migration as an explanation."pic.twitter.com/QNVDIrCHfp

The Malthusian explanation is actually that populations keep growing while there is still food for further people. Since this is assumed to be very fast, they are practically always at maximum size with the *same* minimum for living conditions. Prediction is no change over time.

Conclude that city living has always been unhealthy; though when the aqueducts failed and infrastructure collapsed, hygiene failure probably contributed to increased mortality. Weird equilibrium between unhealthy/long life and "healthy"/shorter life?

Though reduced density and collapsed trade nets would certainly help with reducing epidemic transmission rates...
