Overweight and obesity at age 19 after pre-natal famine exposure. [PDF]

Int J Obes (Lond), 2021
Abstract Background Weight for height has been used in the past as an indicator of obesity to report that prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine of 1944–1945 determined subsequent obesity. Further evaluation is needed as unresolved questions remain about the possible impact of social class differences in fertility decline

Early‐life famine exposure, hunger recall, and later‐life health [PDF]

Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2021
AbstractWe use newly collected individual‐level hunger recall information from the China Family Panel Survey to estimate the causal effect of undernourishment on later‐life health. We develop a two‐sample instrumental variable (TSIV) estimator that can deal with heterogeneous samples. We find a nonlinear relationship between mortality rates, a commonly

Survival effects of prenatal famine exposure [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2012
Adverse intrauterine conditions are known to be associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases in adult life. Previously, we showed that prenatal famine exposure increased the incidence of cardiovascular and metabolic disease in adulthood.We examined the association between prenatal famine exposure and adult mortality.We studied adult mortality ...

Late-life brain perfusion after prenatal famine exposure [PDF]

Neurobiology of Aging, 2019
Early nutritional deprivation may cause irreversible damage to the brain and seems to affect cognitive function in older age. We investigated whether prenatal undernutrition was associated with brain perfusion differences in older age. We acquired Arterial spin labeling scans in 118 Dutch famine birth cohort members.

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

Effect of Exposure to Famine during Early Life on Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Adulthood: A Meta-Analysis

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2020
Background. Emerging studies have explored the association between the famine exposure during early life and the risk of the metabolic syndrome, and the results remain controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to summarize the famine effects on the

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).

Fetal Exposure to Chinese Famine Increases Obesity Risk in Adulthood [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Fetal exposure to famine may have long-term consequences in adulthood. The purpose of the present study was to explore the association between famine exposure in fetal life (Chinese famine in 1959–1961) and obesity risk in adulthood. A total of 8054 subjects (3422 male, 4632 female) were recruited from the cross-sectional 2010–2012 China National ...
