Journal ArticleDOI
The Dutch famine and its long-term consequences for adult health.
TL;DR: The findings from a cohort study of 2414 people born around the time of the Dutch famine show that maternal undernutrition during gestation has important effects on health in later life, but that the effects onhealth depend on its timing during gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine and disease in later life: An overview
TL;DR: The findings from a cohort of 2414 people born as term singletons around the time of the 1944-1945 Dutch famine show that maternal undernutrition during gestation has important effects on health in later life, but that the timing of the nutritional insult determines which organ system is affected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenerational effects of prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine on neonatal adiposity and health in later life.
Rebecca C. Painter,Clive Osmond,Peter D. Gluckman,Mark A. Hanson,David I. W. Phillips,Tessa J. Roseboom +5 more
TL;DR: Maternal undernutrition during gestation is associated with increased metabolic and cardiovascular disease in the offspring and this work investigated whether these effects may persist in subsequent generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birthweight and mortality in adulthood: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Kari R. Risnes,Lars J. Vatten,Jennifer L. Baker,Karen A. Jameson,Ulla Sovio,Eero Kajantie,Merete Osler,Ruth Morley,Markus Jokela,Rebecca C. Painter,Valter Sundh,Geir Jacobsen,Johan G. Eriksson,Thorkild I. A. Sørensen,Michael B. Bracken +14 more
TL;DR: The results show an inverse but moderate association of birthweight with adult mortality from all-causes and a stronger inverse association with cardiovascular mortality and suggest that birthweight can be a useful indicator of processes that influence long-term health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hungry in the womb: what are the consequences? Lessons from the Dutch famine.
Tessa J. Roseboom,Rebecca C. Painter,Annet F M van Abeelen,Marjolein V.E. Veenendaal,Susanne R. de Rooij +4 more
TL;DR: The finding that the effects of prenatal famine exposure may reach down across generations, possibly through epigenetic mechanisms, may be a promising strategy in preventing chronic diseases worldwide.
