Περιγραφή
The concept of the early life developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) in adults has stimulated a new approach to understanding disease trajectories, with major public health implications. Indeed, the principle of the ‘lifecourse of disease’ now influences health policies internationally. Environmental influences during pregnancy and early life that affect lifelong health are well documented, but there is a new focus on the preconception period and the significance of paternal health on the fetus. This fully revised second edition highlights scientific and clinical advances in the field, exploring new understanding of mechanisms such as epigenetics and the increasingly recognised role of external influences, including pollution. The book is structured logically, covering environment, clinical outcomes, mechanisms of DOHaD, interventions throughout the lifespan and finally implications for public health and policy. Clinicians and scientists alike will improve their understanding of the developmental origins of health and disease with this essential text.
- This fully revised second edition is the definitive guide to the growing field of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, with the inclusion of two new editors bringing new perspectives and key insights to the book
- Chapter authors come from a range of backgrounds including nutrition, endocrinology, developmental physiology and molecular biology, delivering a multidisciplinary and authoritative overview of the theory
- Structured logically, sections cover environmental influences, clinical outcomes, mechanisms of DOHaD, interventions throughout the lifespan and finally, implications for public health, providing readers with a comprehensive account of this rapidly evolving field
