The interactions between genetics and early childhood nutrition influence adult cardiometabolic risk factors

Abstract It is well established that genetics, environment, and interplay between them play a crucial role in adult disease. We aimed to evaluate the role of genetics, early life nutrition, and the interaction between them, on optimal adult health. As part of a large international consortium (n ~ 15...
