Being bullied and abused by one's peers as a result of a certain lack of prowess or excess body weight
Nutrition and Cognitive Learning Among Elementary School Students -- a Proposal Many elementary school children are at-risk for poor nutrition.

Furthermore, as Baltes makes clear, there are some events that are generally going to impact people at various stages in their lives. For example, an East European Jew who survived World War II would probably have a historical influence that changed other age-expectations, which could impact other longevity factors. Time in a concentration camp, which would be normative for the Jewish cohort in that place and time period, would also
