The LancetWEIGHT IN INFANCY AND DEATH FROM ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE
3,518 Citations1989David J.P. Barker, Clive Osmond +3 more
Measurements that promote prenatal and postnatal growth may reduce deaths from ischaemic heart disease and may be especially important in boys who weigh below 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) at birth.
The LancetINFANT MORTALITY, CHILDHOOD NUTRITION, AND ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE IN ENGLAND AND WALES
2,871 Citations1986David J.P. Barker
Although the rise in ischaemic heart disease in England and Wales has been associated with increasing prosperity, mortality rates are highest in the least affluent areas.
The LancetHAEMOSTATIC FUNCTION AND ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE: PRINCIPAL RESULTS OF THE NORTHWICK PARK HEART STUDY
1,956 Citations1986T W Meade, M Brozović +8 more
The Northwick Park Heart Study has investigated the thrombotic component of ischaemic heart disease by the inclusion of measures of haemostatic function, finding that the biochemical disturbance leading to IHD may lie at least as much in the coagulation system as in the metabolism of cholesterol.
BMJFetal and placental size and risk of hypertension in adult life.
1,731 Citations1990David J. Barker, A R Bull +2 more
Findings show for the first time that the intrauterine environment has an important effect on blood pressure and hypertension in adults, and discordance between placental and fetal size may lead to circulatory adaptation in the fetus, altered arterial structure in the child, and hypertensionIn adults.

958 Citations1966Myron Winick, Adele Noble
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthAre poor living conditions in childhood and adolescence an important risk factor for arteriosclerotic heart disease?
740 Citations1977A Forsdahl
The findings suggest that great poverty in childhood and adolescence followed by prosperity, is a risk factor for arteriosclerotic heart disease.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthThe intrauterine and early postnatal origins of cardiovascular disease and chronic bronchitis.
387 Citations1989David J. Barker, Clive Osmond +1 more
This paper examines the separate relations of mortality during 1968-78 with neonatal and post-neonatal mortality during 1911-25, finding links may include blood pressure and as yet unknown processes established in early postnatal life.
BMJRespiratory Disease in Young Adults: Influence of Early Childhood Lower Respiratory Tract Illness, Social Class, Air Pollution, and Smoking
214 Citations1973J R Colley, James W. Douglas +1 more
Cigarette smoking was found to have the greatest effect on symptom prevalence, followed by a history of a lower respiratory tract illness under 2 years of age, and social class and air pollution had little effect.
British Medical BulletinPOPULATION-BASED DISTRIBUTIONS OF HAEMOSTATIC VARIABLES
207 Citations1977T W Meade, W. R. S. North +3 more
BMJChildhood respiratory infection and adult chronic bronchitis in England and Wales.
187 Citations1986David J. Barker, Clive Osmond
It was concluded that this relation provided strong evidence of a direct casual link between acute lower respiratory infection in early childhood and chronic bronchitis in adult life.
PubMedBiological Freudianism. Lasting effects of early environmental influences.
123 Citations1966René Dubos, Dwayne C. Savage +1 more
The purpose in the present report is to show that it is possible to create laboratory models useful in the study of human population problems and to emphasize in particular some of the lasting biological effects of early environmental influences.
BMJIs birth weight determined genetically?
91 Citations1987Roy Carr‐Hill, D. M. Campbell +2 more
It is concluded that genetic factors play only a small part in determining birth weight, after standardisation for fetal sex, maternal height, gestational age, and proteinuric pre-eclampsia.
