Epigenetic Consequences of Famine: Lessons Learned and Future Research Directions

2025-07-10

Abstract excerpt

The recent rise in global food insecurity has renewed scientific interest in understanding the long-term health consequences of early-life nutritional deprivation. This study critically evaluates the experimental designs and methodological approaches of key publications examining the epigenetic and phenotypic effects of the Dutch and Chinese famines. Specifically, these studies were assessed for sample size, contr...
