Hypotheses on the fetal origins of adult diseases: contributions of epidemiological studies.

European journal of epidemiology - 1 Jan 2006

Jaddoe Vincent W V, Witteman Jacqueline C M

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between low birth weight and cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and their risk factors in adult life. These findings have led to sharp debates in the literature concerning potential methodological study flaws and the effect size and causality of the associations. More recent studies seem to have overcome most methodological flaws and suggest a small...
