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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anthropometric measures in middle age after exposure to famine during gestation: evidence from the Dutch famine [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007 Few studies in humans have related maternal undernutrition to the size of the adult offspring.The objective was to assess whether reductions in food intake by pregnant women during the Dutch famine of 1944-1945 were related to offspring length, weight, and indexes of adiposity in middle age.We recruited 1) exposed persons born in western Netherlands ...

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

Prenatal famine exposure has sex-specific effects on brain size [PDF]
Brain, 2016 Early nutritional deprivation might cause irreversible damage to the brain. Prenatal exposure to undernutrition has been shown to be associated with increased central nervous system anomalies at birth and decreased cognitive function in adulthood. Little is known about the potential effect on the brain in older age.
