“…Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means that the fetus does not realize its full potential growth. Placental insufficiency is a condition that can be managed and occurs due to factors such as maternal malnutrition, smoking, congenital infections, drugs, obesity, and chromosomal abnormalities [ 19 ]. The basic diagnostic criteria of IUGR include fetal weights below the third percentile for gestational age or low birth weights (LWs) below the tenth percentile (small for gestational age [SGA] and gender neutral) along with abnormal cord blood flow [ 20 ].…”

Intrauterine life is one of the most important periods of life. As the development of the fetus continues, the mechanisms that affect adult health also begin to mature. With the hypothesis denoted “fetal programming,” it is thought that the presence of endocrinological disorders, toxins, infectious agents, the nutritional status of a mother, and nutrients related to placental functionality all have an effect on future life. Therefore, the fetus must adapt to the environment for survival. These adaptations may be involved the redistribution of metabolic, hormonal, or cardiac outputs in an effort to protect the brain, which is one of the important organs, as well as the slowing of growth to meet nutritional requirements. Unlike lifestyle changes or treatments received in adult life, the early developmental period tends to have a lasting effect on the structure and functionality of the body. In this review, fetal programming and the effects of fetal programming are discussed.

“…The "Developmental Origins of Health and Disease" or "Early Metabolic Programming" paradigm asserts that environmental factors including nutrition during preand postnatal phases of human development have a significant impact on health in adult life [1][2][3][4]. Retrospective human observational studies and experimental animal studies provide supportive evidence for this concept, demonstrating that events and exposures during critical windows of development from conception (or even before) through early childhood can significantly alter both immediate and long-term health [3,5,6].…”

Impact of Micronutrient Status during Pregnancy on Early Nutrition Programming

et al. 2019

Background: Nutrition status prior to conception and during pregnancy and infancy seems to have an influence on the disease risk in adulthood (early nutrition/developmental programming). We aimed to review the current knowledge on the role of micronutrients in early nutrition programming and its implications for healthcare. Summary of Findings: Globally and even in high-income countries where a balanced diet is generally accessible, an inadequate maternal micronutrient status is common. This may induce health problems in the mother and foetus/newborn both immediately and in later life. Pregnant women and those who may become pregnant should aim to achieve a satisfactory micronutrient status from a well-balanced diet, and where necessary from additional supplements. Key Messages: We emphasise the need for a call to action for healthcare providers and policymakers to better educate women of child-bearing age regarding the short- and long-term benefits of an appropriate micronutrient status. The role of micronutrient status in early nutrition programming needs to be emphasized more to address the still limited awareness of the potential long-term health repercussions of suboptimal micronutrient supply during pregnancy.

“…Additionally, low birth weight at term has been associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness [ 5 ] and lower grip strength [ 6 ], which could contribute to or be a consequence of lower physical activity (PA). A recent review indicates that most studies using self-reports found an association between low birth weight and increased sedentary time, while most studies using objective measurements found no association [ 7 ]. Using self-reports along with objective measurements may provide complementary information about habitual PA. To date there are no studies of objectively measured PA in adults born SGA at term.…”

Background Adults born small for gestational age (SGA) have increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Physical activity (PA) is a key determinant of health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to investigate if being born SGA at term is associated with lower objectively measured and self-reported PA during adulthood. We also examined if objectively measured and self-reported PA were associated with HRQoL. Methods As part of the 32-year follow-up in the NTNU Low Birth Weight in a Lifetime Perspective study, SGA and non-SGA control participants wore two tri-axial accelerometers for seven days (37 SGA, 43 control), and completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (42 SGA, 49 control) and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) (55 SGA, 67 control). Group differences in objectively measured daily metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes spent sedentary (lying, sitting), on feet (standing, walking, running, cycling), on the move (walking, running, cycling) and running/cycling, and group differences in self-reported daily MET minutes spent walking and in moderate and vigorous PA were examined using linear regression. Associations with SF-36 were explored in a general linear model. Results Mean (SD) daily MET minutes on the move were 218 (127) in the SGA group and 227 (113) in the control group. There were no group differences in objectively measured and self-reported PA or associations with HRQoL. In the SGA group, one MET minute higher objectively measured time on the move was associated with 4.0 (95% CI: 0.6–6.5, p = 0.009) points higher SF-36 physical component summary. Conclusion We found no differences in objectively measured and self-reported PA or associations with HRQoL between term-born SGA and non-SGA control participants in adulthood.
