Early-life undernutrition in the great Chinese famine and the risk of early natural menopause: a retrospective cohort study in Western China

Frontiers in Nutrition
PurposeEarly age of menopause may increase the risk of fracture, cardiovascular diseases, and all-cause mortality. This study aimed to investigate the relation between early-life undernutrition in the Great Chinese Famine and the risk of early natural ...

Persistent epigenetic differences associated with prenatal exposure to famine in humans [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Extensive epidemiologic studies have suggested that adult disease risk is associated with adverse environmental conditions early in development. Although the mechanisms behind these relationships are unclear, an involvement of epigenetic dysregulation has been hypothesized.

Meniscus‐Guided Interfacial Ring‐by‐Ring Assembly for In Situ Fabrication of Tubular Hydrogels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular hydrogel fabrication method leveraging the meniscus effect at the oil‐water interface is presented. UV irradiation across the concave surface of the photocurable hydrogel precursor induces the formation of ring‐like hydrogel structures. Sequential ring‐by‐ring assembly within microchannels enables the construction of arteriole‐scale hydrogel ...

Consequences of exposure to prenatal famine on estimated glomerular filtration rate and risk of chronic kidney disease among survivors of the great Ethiopian famine (1983–85): a historical cohort study

Nutrition Journal, 2021
Background The impact of an adverse prenatal environment such as famine exposure on the development of adulthood non-communicable chronic illnesses, including diabetes and hypertension has been well articulated in the recent past and supported by ...

Effects of fetal famine exposure on the cardiovascular disease risk in the metabolic syndrome individuals

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2022
Background Patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the possible mechanisms are not fully understood and further exploration of the possible factors influencing the high incidence of CVD in ...

Vestiges of famine: Long-term mortality impacts of early-life exposure to the 1840s famine in Estonia

Economics & Human Biology
The paper investigates whether exposure to a famine in the Russian Tsarist Province of Livland in 1844–1846 in early life negatively affected survival at later ages, using individual data from two rural parishes. We follow 18 birth cohorts born between 1834–1852 until age 75 and differentiate between timing and length of exposures.

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...

The association between early-life famine exposure and hypertension risk in adulthood and its interaction with dietary inflammatory index among Chinese adults

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that exposure to famine during early life is associated with long-term health outcomes. However, findings on the association between famine exposure and the risk of hypertension remain inconsistent.

Differential effect of prenatal exposure to the Great Ethiopian Famine (1983–85) on the risk of adulthood hypertension based on sex: a historical cohort study

BMC Women's Health, 2022
Background The consequence of the Great Ethiopian Famine (1983–1985) on mortality had been well documented. However, the long term assaults of the famine on adulthood health, particularly on the risk of hypertension, has never been documented. The aim of
