Prenatal famine exposure and cognition at age 59 years [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2011 Despite the perceived importance of early life nutrition for mental development, few studies have related gestational undernutrition to later-life cognitive functioning. We investigated the consequences of gestational exposure to the Dutch famine of 1944-45 for cognitive functioning at the age of 59 years.We recruited men and women who were (i) born in

The famine exposure in early life and metabolic syndrome in adulthood [PDF]
Clinical Nutrition, 2017 Epidemiologic studies have revealed that early-life conditions influence later risk of chronic diseases. We aimed to explore whether exposure to Chinese famine between 1959 and 1962 during fetal and childhood period was related with metabolic syndrome (MS) in adulthood.6445 subjects from SPECT-China study were divided into fetal-exposed (1959-1962 ...

Prenatal famine exposure and mental health in later midlife [PDF]
Aging & Mental Health, 2017 Maternal malnutrition during pregnancy may have long-lasting effects on offspring's mental health. We investigate the effect of prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine (mid November 1944 to late April 1945) on mental health in later mid-life.Data are from the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (n = 642).

In utero exposure to famine and subsequent fertility: The Dutch Famine Birth Cohort Study. [PDF]
American Journal of Public Health, 1997 OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that if prenatal caloric restriction due to nutritional deprivation had affected development of the organs responsible for producing and regulating female reproductive hormones, a woman's fertility would be impaired. METHODS: Women born in Amsterdam from August 1, 1944, through April 15, 1946, a period encompassing a severe

The risk of stroke after prenatal exposure to famine
Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 2017 Prenatal exposure to famine is associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in the offspring at adult age. The aim of this study was to assess whether prenatal exposure to undernutrition increases the risk of stroke. This study was performed in the Dutch famine birth cohort, which consist of 2414 members who were born ...

Impaired Insulin Secretion After Prenatal Exposure to the Dutch Famine [PDF]
Diabetes Care, 2006 OBJECTIVE—We previously reported that people prenatally exposed to famine during the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944–1945 have higher 2-h glucose concentrations after an oral glucose tolerance test in later life. We aimed to determine whether this association is mediated through alterations in insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, or a combination of ...
