Accelerated biological aging six decades after prenatal famine exposure. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 To test the hypothesis that early-life adversity accelerates the pace of biological aging, we analyzed data from the Dutch Hunger Winter Families Study (DHWFS, N = 951). DHWFS is a natural-experiment birth-cohort study of survivors of in-utero exposure to famine conditions caused by the German occupation of the Western Netherlands in Winter 1944 to ...

The Long-Term Effect of Famine Exposure on Cognitive Performance: Evidence from the 1959-1961 Chinese Famine. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 We examined the long-term impact of the 1959–1961 Chinese Famine on the survivors’ cognitive performance in this study. Using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study, our cohort comparison analysis showed that people who experienced the famine in early childhood (aged 1–3) had a lower score on a vocabulary test and that those who were exposed to ...
