Resumen |
There is emerging evidence that economic crises may impact long-term health. Furthermore, adversity experienced by women and their offspring might be transmitted to next generations. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) approach emphasises the importance of early life events for the state of health and risk for disease later in life. In this review, we discuss current evidence on the possible impact of economic crises on offspring health through the DOHaD framework and highlight the importance of critical periods of development for future disease risk. Therefore, successful interventions should prioritise strategies that address early life risk factors. |
