Insights from the developing world: thrifty genotypes and thrifty phenotypes.

Few researchers would dispute that the pandemic of obesity is caused by a profound mismatch between humanity's present environmental circumstances and those that have moulded evolutionary selection. This concept was first articulated when gestational diabetes was described as being the result of a 'thrifty genotype rendered detrimental by progress'. More recently, this hypothesis has been exten...

Thrifty energy metabolism in catch-up growth trajectories to insulin and leptin resistance.

Catch-up growth early in life (after fetal, neonatal or infantile growth retardation) is a major risk factor for later obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. These risks are generally interpreted alongside teleological arguments that environmental exposures which hinder growth early in life lead to programming of 'thrifty mechanisms' that are adaptive during the period of limited...

Can Thrifty Gene(s) or Predictive Fetal Programming for Thriftiness Lead to Obesity?

Obesity and related disorders are thought to have their roots in metabolic "thriftiness" that evolved to combat periodic starvation. The association of low birth weight with obesity in later life caused a shift in the concept from thrifty gene to thrifty phenotype or anticipatory fetal programming. The assumption of thriftiness is implicit in obesity research. We examine here, with the help of ...

Nutrition and chronic disease: lessons from the developing and developed world.

Many features of human susceptibility to chronic noncommunicable diseases can be mapped onto the framework of the match/mismatch hypothesis. From an evolutionary perspective, it is highly likely that the human genome has been under selective pressure to survive and reproduce against a background of seasonal food shortages and frequent episodic famines, leading to the attractive, but unproven, c...
