Summary
The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) concept supports that the environment that you are exposed to in early life significantly impacts on both short- and longer-term health. As a modifiable exposure, diet and nutrition has been a major focus of DOHaD-related research. However, much of the focus has come from well-nourished settings with a focus on ‘optimizing’ the diet in early life for the prevention of obesity and long-term chronic disease risk. Far less attention has been given to the long-term health consequences of food insecurity and nutritional deprivation in early life.
