Book Description
This watershed reference presents epidemiological, clinical, and experimental
evidence that cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and chronic lung disease
originate through adaptations to the intrauterine environment. These new
findings suggest that major chronic diseases in adult life may be prevented by
improving the nutrition of girls and young women to promote healthy fetal
development during pregnancy.
Focusing on prenatal programming-the process whereby stimuli or insults at
critical early periods of life have lasting effects-Fetal Origins of
Cardiovascular and Lung Disease
demonstrates the associations between low birthweight and cardiovascular disease
and Type 2 diabetes in adults
reveals the association between prenatal influences and hypertension and asthma
in adult life
