Data collected from the Dutch famine and similar events, such as the one at Leningrad, provided a reliable source of information to scientists studying DOHaD. [6] [9] [10] These studies in turn led to greater interest in the roles of developmental plasticity and early life environmental exposures in adult disease. The World Congress on Fetal ...
[12] [8] Based on a couple of studies from the Dutch Famine of 1944-1945, it is stated that starvation during pregnancy and subsequent health can result in, but not limited to a some health risks including type II diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and decreased cognitive functions later in life.
