“…This has negative intergenerational spillovers on the health of children for whom the woman is the major care giver. When children are undernourished in their childhood, this has been linked to poor adult education, health and productivity outcomes (Alderman et al, 2006;Almond & Currie, 2011;Gutierrez, 2013;.…”

As structural transformation changes countries from subsistence agriculture economies to modernized economies, countries undergo a nutrition-related transition 1 (Griffiths & Bentley, 2001). High rates of undernutrition 2 come down and population health improves. However, even as undernutrition decreases, experiences of some countries in the recent past have shown that obesity rates may increase due to overnutrition 3 and this can decrease overall gains made to health during the 1 In the previous chapter, we use the definition of the nutrition transition as described in Popkin (1997), which refers to the dietary transformation that are related to ST. In this chapter the nutrition transformation refers to the changing burden of nutrition-related health problems that constitute the triple burden of malnutrition-we build on the Griffiths and Bentley (2001) conceptualization here. 2 At its broadest level, undernourished individuals are those who do not have access to one or more essential nutrients in their diets. Being undernourished, represented by individuals who are either underweight (too thin for their age), wasted (too thin for their height and age) or stunted (too short for their age) compared to a well-nourished reference population, is one type of undernourishment. Another type of undernourishment is called hidden hunger. This manifests itself as deficiencies of essential micronutrients such as vitamins or minerals in the human body. 3 Over-nourished individuals, on the other hand, are those who consume an excess of a particular macronutrient-calories in particular. This condition is represented by overweight and obesity outcomes which are determined by the age, gender, height and weight of the individual in relation to a similar well-nourished group.

“…Our study is also related to several papers that explore the effects on children's outcomes as a result of different situations experienced while they were in utero. See Case, Lubotsky, and Paxson (2002), Gutierrez (2013), and Kiernan and Huerta (2008) for events related to economic hardship. Using panel data, they found that adult's heath was negatively affected by differences in levels of income and wealth and economic crisis when exposed to these shocks during infancy; Lewis et al (2014) study the effects of exposure to alcohol in-utero using panel data from the UK; and Schultz-Nielsen et al (2014) study how nutritional deficiency during gestation due to the Ramadan caused negative effects on adult's labor outcomes.…”

It combines destruction indexes at the district level with 13 yearly rounds of household level surveys from Jamaica. The empirical strategy exploits variation arising from the storms' timing and intensity across different cohorts within the same district. The findings suggest that when expectant mothers living in coastal-rural areas are affected by at least two hurricanes, their children are 56 percentage points more likely to show low birth weight. Furthermore, these children also experience negative impacts on anthropometric measurements taken within the first five years of life equivalent to 1.88 standard deviations in weight-for-age and 1.4 standard deviations in weight-for-height.JEL classification: I12, J13, O15, Q54
