It is now well recognised that the environment in which we develop in utero impacts on our long-term health, including risk of developing traditionally adult-onset diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular. This talk will discuss the mechanisms by which this occurs and explore the possibility that by understanding such mechanisms we can design rational intervention strategies to improve the health of women and their children.
