“…Many progenitors of life-course epidemiology could be resurrected to provide a historical lineage for work in this field (Davey Smith & Kuh, 2001;Kuh & Davey Smith, 1993). The contention of Ciocco (Ciocco et al 1941) that many held the view that 'disease in adulthood is often brought about by the cumulative effects over a long period of time of many pathological conditions, many incidents, some of which take place and are even perceived in infancy' illustrates that this view was not in the minority. However, after the Second World War, as epidemiology came to focus on adult 'lifestyles', there was little interest in the childhood origins of adult disease until late in the century.…”

A life-course approach to chronic-disease epidemiology uses a multidisciplinary framework to understand the importance of time and timing in associations between exposures and outcomes at the individual and population levels. Such an approach to chronic diseases is enriched by specification of the particular manner in which timing in relation to physical growth, reproduction, infection, social mobility, behavioural transitions etc. can influence various adult chronic diseases in different ways, and more ambitiously by how these temporal processes are interconnected and manifested in health inequalities within a population and in population-level disease trends. The paper will discuss some historical background to life-course epidemiology and theoretical models of life-course processes, and will review some of the empirical evidence linking life-course processes to CHD, haemorrhagic stroke, stomach cancer and other chronic diseases in adulthood. It will also underscore that a life-course approach offers a way to conceptualize how underlying socio-environmental determinants of health, experienced at different life-course stages, can differentially influence the development of chronic diseases, as mediated through proximal specific biological processes.

“…Adolescents born in substandard housing (eg, a non-brick home) were more likely to experience high levels of gingival bleeding when compared to those born in standard housing (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.21-4.14). Similarly, those with reconstituted families, living in an overcrowded home and having high levels of plaque were 5 …”

“…These authors adopt an innovative method for examining the association between stress and disease by using the lifecourse approach to disease development. Ciocco et al 5 were the first to propose that disease in adulthood is often brought about by the cumulative effects of many pathological conditions and incidents beginning as early as infancy. More recently the life-course approach has added to our understanding of the interactive and cumulative effects of life events and stressors, both biological and psychosocial, in cardiovascular disease, 6 hypertension, 7 and numerous psychiatric conditions.…”

“…On the basis of the Selective Service classification of the date stated the registrants have been grouped in the following three categories: The school records for the 1,631 Selective Service registrants consist of: 4,126 annual weight and 2,001 annual stature measurements on the physically fit. ; 1,000 weight and 363 stature measurements on the disqualified; and 1,447 measurements of weight and 162 of stature on the deferred.…”
