Associations between early-life food deprivation during World War II and risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes at adulthood

Abstract The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) framework suggests that early-life experiences affect long-term health outcomes. We tested this hypothesis by estimating the long-run effects of exposure to World War II-related food deprivation during childhood and adolescence on the...
