Environmental Quality, Developmental Plasticity and the Thrifty Phenotype: A Review of Evolutionary Models

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The concept of the thrifty phenotype, first proposed by Hales and Barker, is now widely used in medical research, often in contrast to the thrifty genotype model, to interpret associations between early-life experience and adult health status. Several evolutionary models of the thrifty phenotype, which refers to developmental plasticity, have been presented. These include (A) the weather forecast model of Bateson,...
