Description
In this chapter the ‘Developmental Origins of Health and Diseases (DOHaD)’ hypothesis is presented, providing a summary of the evidence to support the thesis that susceptibility to chronic degenerative diseases is programmed by exposures early in life. The chapter then looks in more detail at the evidence that this hypothesis also extends to immune function, with a review of the data to support the ‘early nutritional programming of human immune function’.
