Glucose tolerance in adults after prenatal exposure to famine

The Lancet, 1998
Reduced growth in utero is associated with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in adult life. There is no direct evidence in human beings that maternal nutrition during gestation affects insulin-glucose metabolism. We investigated glucose tolerance in people born around the time of famine in the Netherlands during ...

Exacerbation of liver steatosis following exposure to famine and overnutrition

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2017
ScopePeople suffering from famine in early life and overnutrition in adulthood may have an increased risk for liver steatosis. We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of early nutrition restriction and overnutrition on de novo lipogenesis in the liver.Methods and resultsThree‐wk‐old male rats were food restricted for 4 wk and refed a high ...

Prenatal Exposure to Famine and Ageing

2019
Chronic mild caloric restriction delays the aging process and increases lifespan. But poor nutrition during critical periods of early human development has lasting negative consequences for growth, development and health. Studies of men and women born around the time of the Dutch famine of 1944–1945 have shown that undernutrition during critical ...

Adult survival after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine 1944–45

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2001
SummaryEarly life events may affect adult survival. We studied the effect of prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine 1944–45 on survival among 2254 people born in Amsterdam. Mortality up to age 50 was highest among those born before the famine (15.2%) and among those exposed to famine in late gestation (14.6%).

Early-Life Famine Exposure and Later-Life Outcomes: Evidence from Survivors of the Greek Famine

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
This chapter examines education and labor market outcomes for cohorts with early-life exposure to the Greek 1941-42 famine. Given the short duration of the famine, we can separately identify effects for cohorts exposed as fetuses, infants and one-year-olds.

Transgenerational effects of prenatal exposure to the 1944–45 Dutch famine

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2013
ObjectiveWe previously showed that maternal under‐nutrition during gestation is associated with increased metabolic and cardiovascular disease in the offspring. Also, we found increased neonatal adiposity among the grandchildren of women who had been undernourished during pregnancy.

Consequences of Exposure to Famine Exposure on the Later Life eGFR Decline Among Survivors of the Great Chinese Famine: A Retrospective Study

Journal of Renal Nutrition
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly contributes to the socio-economic burden both in China and worldwide. Previous research has shown that experiencing childhood famine is linked to various chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and proteinuria. However, the long-term effects of early-life famine exposure on adult kidney function remain
