Title
Early Life Origins of Health and Disease
Description
The book covers data relevant to humans (Chs. 1-5), and various animal models (Chs. 8-14). After the whole background to the concept is set by the current
president and secretary of the international society devoted to this area (DOHaD),
an expert in epidemiology (Fall, Ch. 2) gives a masterly summation of the past
findings. In a timely reminder the peri-implantation embryo is considered as a
vulnerable stage (Thompson et al, Ch. 5). In addition, the potential mechanisms by
which such programming might occur are covered in the two chapters on
epigenetics (Chs. 6, 7).
