Robert Lustig: Those born during the World War II, many died young with metabolic syndrome. Why???
Robert Lustig explains the Barker hypothesis: David Barker (1989) observed that people born during World War II in Southampton, England — who tended to have low birth weights because of food scarcity — later had higher rates of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and earlier mortality. Lustig notes replication in other cohorts such as the Dutch Hunger Winter (Amsterdam). He links this observation to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) field.
