| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the developmental origins of adult health and disease, focusing on the impact of in utero and early-life conditions on long-term health outcomes. The research covers topics such as fetal programming, metabolic syndrome, epigenetic mechanisms, catch-up growth, hypertension risk associated with low birth weight, and the role of glucocorticoid programming in chronic disease development. |
