Background. Many human fetuses and infants 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, stroke, diabetes and hypertension.Coronary heart disease. We have become accustomed to the idea that coronary heart disease, the commonest cause of death in the Western world, may result from the “unhealthy” lifestyle that is associated with increasing affluence. The influences of this “unhealthy” lifestyle (e. g. obesity, cigarette smoking, dietary fat, stress), however, go only a small way towards explaining why increasing affluence in the Third world is so regul...
