The kings also set up a huge section for their young children, expecting that many of them would die. But with falling child mortality, many of the graves have remained empty.

Credit to Bastian for the photo and this perspective.

It would be nice if we could simultaneously control for cohort and age. But it is impossible. We cannot compare [20y.o.s from the 1990 cohort] in 2010 with [20y.o.s from the 1990 cohort] in 2020. Because in 2020, the 1990 cohort will be 30. And 20y.o.s will belong to the 2000 cohort.>

So, firstly, this paper is extremely disingenuous. The authors used 5 different forms of vitamin D supplementation. The entire effect is derived from a comparison between 1 of these groups and a control group who got unfortified milk.
