Epigenetics and the environment: emerging patterns and implications (2012, background): “A hypothesis that emerged from epidemiological studies proposes that fetal metabolic adjustments to nutritionally unfavourable conditions can affect growth and development, and may substantially alter the risk of chronic disorders later in lif”
The nutrition transition to 2030. Why developing countries are likely to bear the major burden (2005, background): “@The adverse impacts of the rapid nutrition transition are likely to be compounded by a number of other factors that are specific to developing countries. This may not only mean that the nutrition transition proceeds faster in developing countries, but also that its adverse impacts are likely to be ”
