Beskrivning

Research in the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease has had a fundamental impact on our understanding of how environmental experiences and contexts influence the development of health and disease over the entire lifecourse. Covering a wide range of geographic regions, this volume includes an overview of the field, key concepts, and cutting-edge examples of interdisciplinary collaboration. The first reference text covering the interdisciplinary work of DOHaD, a broad list of contents maps the history of DOHaD, showcases examples of biosocial collaboration in action, offers a conceptual toolkit for interdisciplinary research, and maps future directions for the field. The definitive volume on biosocial collaborations in DOHaD, this will be indispensable for scholars working at the intersections of public health, lifecourse epidemiology and the social science of DOHaD. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
