Fetal programming and adult health.
Low birthweight is now known to be associated with increased rates of coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, hypertension and non-insulin dependent diabetes. These associations have been extensively replicated in studies in different countries and are not the result of confounding variables. They extend across the normal range of birthweight and depend on lower birthweights in...
متن کاملFetal and childhood growth and hypertension in adult life.
The association between low birth weight and raised blood pressure has been extensively replicated. Little is known about the way childhood growth modifies the effects of low birth weight. We report on the fetal and childhood growth of 1958 men and women who received treatment for hypertension and belong to a cohort of 7086 people born in Helsinki, Finland, during 1924-1933. As expected, the me...
متن کاملThe effect of nutrition of the fetus and neonate on cardiovascular disease in adult life.
Early evidence that long-term effects of an adverse environment in fetal life and infancy may be determinants of CVD in humans came from geographical studies. The large geographical differences in death rates from CVD in England and Wales remain largely unexplained. Variations in adult diet and cigarette smoking do not explain why the highest rates are in industrial areas in the north and west ...

متن کاملFetal nutrition and cardiovascular disease in adult life.
Babies who are small at birth or during infancy have increased rates of cardiovascular disease and non-insulin-dependent diabetes as adults. Some of these babies have low birthweights, some are small in relation to the size of their placentas, some are thin at birth, and some are short at birth and fail to gain weight in infancy. This paper shows how fetal undernutrition at different stages of ...
