Life course of place: A longitudinal study of mental health and place (2018, positive): “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).”
The life course cube: A tool for studying lives. (2019, background): “Such interactions are the basis of approaches in life course epidemiology, which consider the dynamic interplay between genetic and contextual factors over time, and their influence on observed behavior and outcomes (Kuh et al., 2003).”
Evidence on the long-term effects of breastfeeding SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS AND META-ANALYSES (2007, background): “The comparison of ever versus never breastfed makes sense if the early weeks of life are regarded as a critical period for the programming effect of breastfeeding on adult diseases (31).”
A life course approach to chronic disease epidemiology. (2005, background): “Additionally, there may also be sensitive periods where the effect of an exposure is magnified more than the effect of the same exposure in another time period (113) (e.”
