Lifestyle factors and fetal and childhood origins of type 2 diabetes: a prospective study of Chinese and European adults
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Early-life development plays a key role in adult type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the extent to which this can be attenuated by lifestyle is unknown.
OBJECTIVES: The aim was to investigate the independent relevance of genetic predisposition to low birth weight and childhood obesity for T2D, and their attenuation, by adherence to a healthy lifestyle in adulthood.
