Exposure to the Chinese famine in early life and depression in adulthood

Psychology, Health & Medicine, 2018
We aimed to investigate whether exposure to the Chinese famine (1959-1961) in early life was associated with depression in adulthood. We included 17,505 participants from the China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS). Participants were classified into indirect and direct exposure groups. And the directly exposure groups including prenatal,

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

Glucose tolerance in adults after prenatal exposure to famine

The Lancet, 2001
Sir—L H Lumey (Feb 10, p 472) responds to our report on glucose tolerance after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine. 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.

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.

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 ...

Prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine and disease in later life: An overview

Reproductive Toxicology, 2005
Low 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, 2018
Early 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, 2003
SummaryPeople 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 & Medicine
While 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.
