Oxidative stress varies significantly, highlighting its impact on health disparities in children, specifically among the Shuar.
Findings indicate market integration is associated with increased pathogen exposure, affecting childhood physiology.
The analysis covers Shuar children in Amazonian Ecuador, focusing on the interplay between market forces and health outcomes.
Understanding these relationships could help address health inequalities in vulnerable populations like the Shuar.
Abstract
These findings suggest that MI, including its impact on pathogen exposure and physiology, is an important driver of global variation in childhood OS and related disparities in phenotype and health.
