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.
健康与疾病的发育起源(DOHaD)理论和生命历程理论(LCT)是新兴的研究领域,对公共卫生和健康促进专业具有重大意义。从DOHaD/LCT的角度来看,健康的社会决定因素(SDH)具有新的关键意义,健康促进专业人员可以据此实施DOHaD/LCT指导的干预措施,包括推荐的政策。通过这些干预措施,如果强调相关政策、项目以及跨学科和多部门合作,公共卫生可以进一步解决全球慢性病流行的根源,并大幅降低此类疾病的发病率。最有效干预措施的其他特点包括因地制宜的调整以及能够广泛影响上游早期生活环境、影响多个地点和/或疾病的社会结构。
