The worldwide epidemiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus—present and future perspectives (2012, result): “The link between fetal malnutrition and later T2DM risk in humans is elegantly illustrated by the observations from the Dutch Hunger Famine birth cohort study, which reported that adults who had been exposed to famine during fetal life had a worse glucose tolerance status than unexposed individuals”
Human Capital Inequality, Life Expectancy and Economic Growth (2008, positive): “On this matter, there are medical studies that point out the important role that the environment plays during pregnancy and on newborn children in determining future diseases and illnesses that an individual may suffer from.6 For example, Ravelli et al. (1998)”
Predictive adaptive responses and human evolution. (2005, background): “Similarly, women exposed to famine in the Netherlands at the end of World War II gave birth to children who developed truncal obesity and insulin resistance as adults [ 53 ].”
