Abstract: 1 Many human fetuses have to adapt to a limited supply of nutrients In doing so they permanently change their structure and metabolism 2 These 'programmed' changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, diabetes and hypertension 3 This review examines the evidence linking these diseases to fetal undernutrition and provides an overview of previous studies in this area

Grandmothers' endocrine disruption during pregnancy, low birth weight, and preterm birth in third generation.
Gyeyoon Yim,Andrea L. Roberts,David Wypij,David Wypij,Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou,Marc G. Weisskopf +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used cluster-weighted generalized estimating equations to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for risk of preterm birth (PTB) and low birthweight (LBW) among the grandchildren by grandmother use of DES.

A framework for testing pathways from prenatal stress-responsive hormones to cardiovascular disease risk
TL;DR: In this paper , a theoretical model of the relation between prenatal stress-responsive hormones and adult CVD through cardiometabolic risk markers (e.g., rapid catch-up growth, high BMI/adiposity, high blood pressure, and altered blood glucose, lipids, and metabolic hormones) was presented.

TL;DR: An inverse relationship between pet ownership and ETS is indicated, potentially pointing to pet ownership as protecting against the development of hypertension in children.

Chronic Gestational Inflammation: Transfer of Maternal Adaptation over Two Generations of Progeny
R Adams,Carine Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Current data illustrates that parental chronic inflammation may mediate the inflammatory profile in offspring, potentially propagating a maladapted proinflammatory phenotype in subsequent generations.

Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographically Determined Left Ventricular Mass in the Framingham Heart Study
TL;DR: The estimation of left ventricular mass by echocardiography offers prognostic information beyond that provided by the evaluation of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and it is concluded that an increase in left Ventricular mass predicts a higher incidence of clinical events, including death, attributable to cardiovascular disease.

Sick individuals and sick populations
TL;DR: Aetiology confronts two distinct issues: the determinant of individual cases, and the determinants of incidence rate: if exposure to a necessary agent is homogeneous within a population, then case/control and cohort methods will fail to detect it.
Infant mortality, childhood nutrition, and ischaemic heart disease in England and Wales.
David J.P. Barker,Clive Osmond +1 more
TL;DR: Although the rise in ischaemic heart disease in England and Wales has been associated with increasing prosperity, mortality rates are highest in the least affluent areas.

Fetal and infant growth and impaired glucose tolerance at age 64.
C. N. Hales,David J.P. Barker,Penelope M.S. Clark,Lorna Cox,Caroline H.D. Fall,Clive Osmond,P D Winter +6 more
TL;DR: Reduced growth in early life is strongly linked with impaired glucose tolerance and non-insulin dependent diabetes and reduced early growth is also related to a raised plasma concentration of 32-33 split proinsulin, which is interpreted as a sign of beta cell dysfunction.

Fetal nutrition and cardiovascular disease in adult life
David J.P. Barker,Peter D. Gluckman,Keith M. Godfrey,Jane E. Harding,Julie A. Owens,J. S. Robinson +5 more
TL;DR: This paper shows how fetal undernutrition at different stages of gestation can be linked to these patterns of early growth in babies who are small at birth or during infancy.
