The Long-Term Effect of Famine Exposure on Cognitive Performance: Evidence from the 1959-1961 Chinese Famine. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022
We examined the long-term impact of the 1959–1961 Chinese Famine on the survivors’ cognitive performance in this study. Using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study, our cohort comparison analysis showed that people who experienced the famine in early childhood (aged 1–3) had a lower score on a vocabulary test and that those who were exposed to ...

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 ...

Microalbuminuria in Adults after Prenatal Exposure to the Dutch Famine [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2005
Maternal undernutrition during gestation is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk factors in the offspring in adult life. The effect of famine exposure during different stages of gestation on adult microalbuminuria (MA) was studied. MA was measured in 724 people, aged 48 to 53, who were born as term singletons in a university hospital 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 ...

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 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

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
