There is increasing epidemiological evidence linking the early-life environmental exposures (i.e., maternal malnutrition/overnutrition, environmental chemicals, and stress) with later-life health outcomes – conceptualized as the “developmental origins of health and disease...

Continuous evaluation of interventions implemented using the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) model needs to be undertaken, as this will allow progressive improvement and thus maximize the potential impact on the health...

... environment in the same way. Epidemiological studies across a wide range of countries and over many years have shown that early human development affects the risk of developing NCDs in later life [ 8 ]. This field is now internationally recognised as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD...
