• Life course of place: A longitudinal study of mental health and place (2018, neutral): “utero, or even before that, can strongly influence health and other outcomes much later in life (Ben-Shlomo and Kuh, 2002; Kuh et al., 2003).”
• Defining food literacy and its components. (2014, methodology): “Interviews used a lifecourse approach to capture the temporal dimension of potential risk and protective factors, and to help participants tell their story using a narrative (Ben-Shlomo & Kuh, 2002; Devine, 2005; Devine et al., 1998).”
• Social relationships and physiological determinants of longevity across the human life span (2016, background): “At the same time, the emergence of chronic diseases usually takes many decades due to the long latency after the initial risk exposures (29).”
• Epigenetics and the embodiment of race: Developmental origins of US racial disparities in cardiovascular health (2009, background): “Although a variety of life course models of cardiovascular epidemiology have been developed (Ben-Shlomo and Kuh, 2002), there has been little systematic evaluation of the potential contribution of developmental and epigenetic responses to early environments to the specific problem of US black-white…”
• Childhood socioeconomic circumstances and cause-specific mortality in adulthood: systematic review and interpretation. (2004, methodology): “Lifecourse epidemiology examines a range of potential processes through which exposures acting at different stages of life can, singly or in combination, influence disease risk (table 1) (4).”
• A systematic review of studies examining the relationship between reported racism and health and wellbeing for children and young people. (2013, background): “…racial discrimination exposure andoutcomes such as blood pressure, obesity and other chronic illnesses, which often become evident long after damaging exposure occurs (Barker, Eriksson, Forsén, & Osmond, 2002; Ben-Schlomo & Kuh, 2002; Williams & Mohammed, 2009; Worthman & Panter-Brick, 2008).”
• A life course approach to chronic disease epidemiology. (2005, background): “Such models suggest that effects accumulate over the life course, although they also allow for developmental periods during which susceptibility may be greater (16) so that the sequence or trajectory of accumulation may also be important.”
