  • Early Origins of Health

    Editorial Team

    The global community is beginning to understand the enormity of the humanitarian, societal, and economic challenge that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) present. The rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases are rapidly increasing in almost all countries such that these are now among the world’s biggest killers. There is a growing recognition that the development of these diseases may have their roots in our earliest days of life within the uterine environment and up to the age of two years and that early intervention is a cost-effective means of preventing NCDs later in life. Therefore, pregnancy offers a unique window of opportunity to turn the tide of the NCD epidemic.  more[...]  login_required
