“…In humans, ELA is associated with changes in expected weight (Hult et al, 2010;Maniam et al, 2014;Rondó et al, 2003;Wainstock et al, 2013), with low weight in infancy predicting poorer cognitive outcomes (Corbett and Drewett, 2004;Strathearn et al, 2001). Thus, weight may serve as a biomarker for altered neurodevelopment and later risk for pathology.…”

“…To date, the exact mechanisms and different risk panoramas are still unclear. Studies have suggested that these negative outcomes are programmed in utero and/or postnatally, as an effect of different metabolic and nutritional alterations (7,12,13). The key question in preventing such developmental programming, is to identify any possible modifiable factor mediating this process.…”

“…This may have large relevance for later health outcomes, since high BP in childhood predicts increased risk of adult hypertension (8)(9)(10). The underlying mechanisms for a developmental contribution to hypertension are largely unknown but, supported by animal (11) and human data (12,13) early nutritional factors are likely to play a key role.…”

“…M. Hult та співавтори [37] розглядають питання щодо АГ, ЦД 2-го типу і надмірної ваги як спадщини голоду, що був у Нігерії. Автори вивчали ризики АГ, ПТГ та надмірної МТ через 40 років після впливу голоду на дітей у Біафрі під час громадянської війни в Нігерії (1967)(1968)(1969)(1970).…”
