BMJEarly origin of coronary heart disease (the “Barker hypothesis”)
340 Citations1995Nigel Paneth, Mervyn Susser
The hypothesis of Professor David Barker and colleagues working in Southampton is that “a baby's nourishment before birth and during infancy,” as manifest in patterns of fetal and infant growth, “programmes the development of risk factors such as raised blood pressure, fibrinogen concentration, and factor VIII concentration and glucose intolerance and hence these are key determinants of coronary heart disease.
American Journal of Public HealthInfant mortality in the United States: trends, differentials, and projections, 1950 through 2010.
291 Citations1995Gopal K. Singh, Stella M. Yu
The long-term downward trend in US infant mortality has not benefited Blacks and Whites equally and the Black/White disparity has not only persisted but increased over time and is not expected to diminish in the near future.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthPhysical activity at 36 years: patterns and childhood predictors in a longitudinal study.
275 Citations1992Diana Kuh, Cyrus Cooper
The findings suggest the importance of developing skills and habits in childhood as well as of encouraging healthier exercise habits in adults who may have had few opportunities or low motivation previously.
Social Science & MedicinePhysical health status at 36 years in a British national birth cohort
193 Citations1993Diana Kuh, Michael Wadsworth
The analysis suggests that a number of pathways link childhood experiences to adult health and shows the need for a lifetime research perspective on health.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthAccumulation of factors influencing respiratory illness in members of a national birth cohort and their offspring.
155 Citations1992Sue Mann, Martha E. Wadsworth +1 more
Risks for adult lower respiratory problems accumulated in childhood through illness, poor social circumstances, and atmospheric pollution, and in the offspring generation, parental smoking was a risk factor for early life chest illness, together with parental illness and low social class.
BMJBirth weight and later socioeconomic disadvantage: evidence from the 1958 British cohort study
135 Citations1994Mel Bartley, C. Power +3 more
Low birth weight is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage in childhood and adolescence and studies of the association of indicators of early development and adult disease need to take into account experiences right through from birth to adulthood.

30 Citations1993J. P. Mackenbach
The results of this analysis suggest that such interventions should not be limited to one dimension of inequality only, and that, at least in the Netherlands, inequalities by gender, marital status and level of education deserve equal attention from health policy makers.
