Nutrition in early life, and risk of cancer and metabolic disease: alternative endings in an epigenetic tale?

12 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

There is substantial evidence which shows that constraints in the early life environment are an important determinant of risk of metabolic disease and CVD. There is emerging evidence that higher birth weight, which reflects a more abundant prenatal environment, is associated with increased risk of cancer, in particular breast cancer and childhood leukaemia. Using specific examples from epidemiology and...
