Transgenerational effects of prenatal exposure to the 1944–45 Dutch famine
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2013ObjectiveWe 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.

He claims that we did not recognise his contributions and that we breached publication ethics. I was the principal investigator of the Dutch Famine Study in Amsterdam, and was directly responsible for the execution of the study.

Prenatal Exposure to Famine and Ageing
2019Chronic 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 ...

Prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine and disease in later life: An overview
Reproductive Toxicology, 2005Low birth weight is associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Poor maternal nutrition during gestation contributes to low birth weight. In this paper, we review the findings from a cohort of 2414 people, aged 50 years, born as term singletons around the time of the 1944-1945 Dutch famine, of which 912 people participated in an interview and ...

Exposure to Chinese famine in early life and the risk of dyslipidemia in adulthood
European Journal of Nutrition, 2018Early life exposure to famine may affect the susceptibility to metabolic disorders including dyslipidemia. However, few studies explored the association between them in Chinese population. We aimed to evaluate the association between Chinese famine (1959-1961) exposure during early life and the risk of dyslipidemia in adulthood.The study performed a ...

Perceived health of adults after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2003SummaryPeople who were undernourished in early gestation are more obese, have a more atherogenic lipid profile, and altered blood coagulation and seem to have an increased risk of coronary heart disease. We now report on whether they also feel less healthy. We therefore assessed the perceived health of 50‐year‐old‐men and women born alive as singletons

Long-term consequences of early-life exposure to Famine: Evidence from the 1943 Bengal Famine
Social Science & MedicineWhile a large literature has examined the consequences of many major famines of the 20th century, almost nothing is known about the long-run health effects of the 1943 Bengal famine, which resulted in the death of an estimated three million people in Bengal.

This study identifies a significant increase in sterility among rural, but not urban, Chinese women who were conceived and born during the 1959-61 famine that resulted from the Great Leap Forward. Applied to data from two large-scale, nationally representative, sample surveys of Chinese women of childbearing age conducted in 1997 and 2001 by the State ...
