Exposure to the Great Famine in early life had sex-specific association with moderate-severe NAFLD. This indicates that malnutrition in early life may influence the development of adult NAFLD; thus pregnant women and their infants and children may require the highest priority in obtaining nutritional relief.
Exposure to severe famine in the fetal or childhood period may predict a higher HbA and an increased diabetes risk in adulthood. These results from China indicate that both the prenatal and postnatal period may offer critical time windows for the determination of the risk of diabetes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
