Maternal nutrition, fetal nutrition, and disease in later life
Abstract
Recent findings suggest that many human fetuses have to adapt to a limited supply of nutrients and in doing so they permanently change their physiology and metabolism. These "programmed" changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, diabetes, and hypertension.

Barker's foundational work identified associations between undernutrition during gestation, low birth weight and higher rates of ischemic heart and coronary artery disease mortality in adulthood in British children born in the 1920s.
“Barker’s foundational work identified associations between undernutrition during gestation, low birth weight and higher rates of ischemic heart and coronary artery disease mortality in adulthood in British children born in the 1920s [38,39,40,41].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
