Fetal Origins of Mental Health: The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Hypothesis

14 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

The quality of fetal growth and development predicts the risk for a range of noncommunicable, chronic illnesses. These observations form the basis of the "developmental origins of health and disease" hypothesis, which suggests that the intrauterine signals that compromise fetal growth also act to "program" tissue differentiation in a manner that predisposes to later illness. Fetal growth also predicts the risk...
