“…To the best of our knowledge no previous study has explicitly investigated the role of maternal growth conditions on diabetes. Our study is consistent with somewhat similar studies showing that maternal nutrition (Ravelli et al, 1998) and maternal education (Kohler and Soldo, 2005) are inversely associated with impaired glucose tolerance. There are several possible explanations for our findings.…”

“…The association is less clear in developing populations (Mi et al, 2008;Tian et al, 2006;Victora et al, 2008) where, markers of fetal nutrition, such as maternal nutrition during pregnancy (Moore et al, 2001) or maternal weight (Fall et al, 1998) are also inconsistently associated with glucose tolerance. However, in such settings, maternal education has previously been used as a marker of maternal growth environment, and found inversely associated with impaired glucose tolerance in both sexes (Kohler and Soldo, 2005) and with central obesity among women but not men (Kavikondala et al, 2010), suggesting that intergenerational influences over the maternal life course may play a role.…”

“…Previous research that has tested life-course models with respect to early-life SES and type 2 diabetes has yielded mixed results, with some studies showing that the effects of childhood SES persisted over the life course and were generally independent from current SES, particularly for women (8, 13, 32), while other studies showing that childhood SES was not an independent predictor of diabetes in men or women (33, 34). This inconsistency is not surprising given the differences across studies in countries of origin, adjustment for risk factors, years of follow-up, and measures of early-life SES and metabolic health.…”

Objective We examined the relationship between childhood socioeconomic status (SES) and glucoregulation in later life and used a life-course framework to examine critical periods and underlying pathways. Methods Data came from the MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) national study (n=895). Childhood SES indicators retrospectively reported at MIDUS I were used to create a childhood SES disadvantage index. Adult SES disadvantage and potential pathways were measured at MIDUS I and included waist circumference, depressive symptoms, and physical activity. Glucose and HbA1c, measured approximately 9-10 years later at MIDUS II, were used to create the ordinal outcome measure (no diabetes/prediabetes/diabetes). Results Childhood SES disadvantage predicted increased odds of prediabetes and diabetes net of age, gender, race, and smoking (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22). Childhood SES disadvantage predicted adult SES disadvantage (β=.26, p=.001) and the three key mediators: higher waist circumference (β=.10, p=.002), lower physical activity (β=−.11, p=.001), and marginally higher depressive symptoms (β=.07, p=.072). When childhood and adult SES disadvantage were in the same model, only adult SES predicted glucoregulation (OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.01-1.13). The SES disadvantage measures were no longer significantly associated with glucoregulation after including waist circumference, physical activity, and depressive symptoms, all of which were significant predictors of glucoregulation. Conclusions The consequences of childhood SES disadvantage are complex and include both critical period and pathway effects. The lack of a direct effect of childhood SES on glucoregulation does not negate the importance of early environment but suggests that early-life socioeconomic factors propel unequal life-course trajectories that ultimately influence health.

“…Low birth weight has consistently been related to poorer health from childhood through adulthood (Brooks, Byrd, Weitzman, Auinger, & McBride, 2001;Case, Fertig, & Paxson, 2005;Haas, 2007;Vohr et al, 2000), illustrating the powerful infl uence of early life health on lifelong health. Having health problems before the age of 10 has been associated with a greater likelihood of having diabetes at age 50 years and older (Kohler & Soldo, 2005). And, a similar study of individuals aged 51 and older showed that health problems prior to the age of 16 were related to a higher risk of developing diabetes among women but not among men (Best, Hayward, & Hidajat, 2005).…”

Using longitudinal ethnographic data on low-income families residing in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, we explore the ways in which childhood illness, family comorbidity, and cumulative disadvantage shape behavioral and social contexts for young mothers' physical and mental health in later life. Data are from the Three-City Study ethnography, which examined, over a 6-year period, the lives of 256 low-income Latino, African American, and White mothers and their children (N = 685). Grounded theory analysis of the data revealed a markedly high prevalence of chronic physical and mental health conditions among the mothers and their children, with 80% of the mothers being categorized as comorbid and 72% of their children as such. Mothers' current illnesses were related to their childhood health problems-problems which were similarly demonstrated in the morbidity patterns of their children. Moreover, 68% of the families were designated comorbid, as they included both mothers and children with multiple concurrent physical and mental health problems. Family comorbidity was associated with cumulative disadvantages anchored in mothers' educational histories
