“…Translating DOHaD to public health may emphasize important research methods or procedures. Among those factors, promoting wide-scale translation involves the need for large longitudinal birth cohort studies with prospective measures of broad domains of exposures and outcomes [ 4 , 12 , 35 ]. This research should reflect multi-sector collaboration [ 29 ] to collectively understand the causal mechanisms and determine the best interventions [ 36 ].…”

The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) theory and life course theory (LCT) are emerging fields of research that have significant implications for the public health and health promotion professions. Using a DOHaD/LCT perspective, social determinants of health (SDH) take on new critical meaning by which health promotion professionals can implement DOHaD/LCT guided interventions, including recommended policies. Through these interventions, public health could further address the sources of worldwide chronic disease epidemics and reduce such disease rates substantially if related policy, programs, and interdisciplinary and multi-sector collaboration are emphasized. Additional characteristics of the most effective interventions involve context-specific adaptation and societal structures that impact upstream, early life environments on a broad scale, influencing multiple locations and/or diseases.

“…Trace minerals play an important role in the metabolism, starting from the lowest level of intracellular life extending to the functional activity of the largest organs. 2 , 3 Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by the intimal and medial proliferation of the small pulmonary arteries, which in turn leads to the development of secondary fibrotic and plexiform vascular lesions. Increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressures in PH constitute a life-threatening situation owing to the increase in afterload leading to right ventricular failure.…”

AimThe aim of the current study was to assess the serum levels of trace minerals/heavy metals in COPD patients with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH) and to investigate their correlations to demographic, clinical, and biochemical variables.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed in Van Yuzuncu Yil University Medical Faculty between April 2013 and July 2013. Cases were allocated into three groups: Group 1 consisted of severe COPD patients; Group 2 was made up of COPD patients with PH; and healthy controls constituted Group 3. Demographic, radiological, and biochemical variables, as well as the serum levels of trace minerals and heavy metals, were noted and compared in these three groups.ResultsCOPD patients were older and had higher rates of smoking habit, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension compared to the control group. Carotid intima-media thickness was increased bilaterally, and serum levels of Co, Cu, and Fe were higher in COPD patients. Left carotid intima-media thickness was increased, and serum levels of Cd, Co, and Fe were found to be higher in COPD cases with PH compared to COPD patients without PH.ConclusionOur results show that serum levels of trace minerals and heavy metals may be altered in COPD and PH.

Prenatal programming of adult mineral metabolism: Relevance to blood pressure, dietary prevention strategies, and cardiovascular disease

Abstract: The findings suggest that the individual variation in mineral metabolism can be predicted by 2D:4D, indicating that prenatal sex steroid action may be involved in the epigenetic programming of specific metabolic conditions which are highly relevant to adult health and disease.
