Abstract:

This chapter defines programming in the area of human biology and health and reviews experiments demonstrating the principle of programming and its likely impact upon the health of human beings. The critical periods of development, agents or intrauterine scenarios acting as stimuli or insults and fetal adaptive responses to these stimuli are discussed. The evidence that programming during fetal and/or neonatal life contributes to an individual's or population's risk for major non-communicable disease are summarized under the two headings: epidemiological studies and experimental studies.
