Russell M Viner,Elizabeth M. Ozer,Simon Denny,Michael Marmot,Michael Resnick,Adesegun O. Fatusi,Candace Currie +6 more
TL;DR: Improving adolescent health worldwide requires improving young people's daily life with families and peers and in schools, addressing risk and protective factors in the social environment at a population level, and focusing on factors that are protective across various health outcomes.

Early developmental conditioning of later health and disease: physiology or pathophysiology?
Mark A. Hanson,Peter D. Gluckman +1 more
TL;DR: The extent to which DOHaD represents the result of the physiological processes of developmental plasticity, which may have potential adverse consequences in terms of NCD risk later, or whether it is the manifestation of pathophysiological processes acting in early life but only becoming apparent as disease later?

Projections of Global Mortality and Burden of Disease from 2002 to 2030
Colin Mathers,Dejan Loncar +1 more
TL;DR: These projections represent a set of three visions of the future for population health, based on certain explicit assumptions, which enable us to appreciate better the implications for health and health policy of currently observed trends, and the likely impact of fairly certain future trends.
