Early Life Circumstance and Adult Mental Health [PDF]
We show that psychological well-being in adulthood varies with circumstance in early life. Combining a time series of real producer prices of cocoa with a nationally representative household survey in Ghana, we find that a one standard deviation rise in ...

Silver-spoon upbringing improves early-life fitness but promotes reproductive ageing in a wild bird [PDF]
Early-life conditions can have long-lasting effects and organisms that experience a poor start in life are often expected to age at a faster rate.

Stress exposure in early post-natal life reduces telomere length: an experimental demonstration in a long-lived seabird [PDF]
Exposure to stressors early in life is associated with faster ageing and reduced longevity. One important mechanism that could underlie these late life effects is increased telomere loss. Telomere length in early post-natal life is an important predictor

The Association between Early-Life Gut Microbiota and Long-Term Health and Diseases
Early life gut microbiota have been increasingly recognized as major contributors to short and/or long-term human health and diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated that human gut microbial colonization begins at birth, but continues to develop a ...
