We have become accustomed to the idea that the major disorders of adult life, including coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes, arise from an interaction between influences in our adult lifestyle and a genetically determined susceptibility. Recent research, however, suggests that growth in utero may also play an important role.
我们已经习惯了这样一种观点,即成年人的主要疾病,包括冠心病、中风和糖尿病,是由我们成年生活方式的影响与基因决定的易感性之间的相互作用引起的。然而,最近的研究表明,子宫内的生长发育也可能起重要作用。
