Seeds of disease are sown before birth

Stress might have harmed your health even before you were born, a new study suggests.

The researchers have found that epigenetic disruptions, which are associated with chronic disease later in life, are already common at birth.

Possibly, these aberrations result from stresses in the intrauterine environment (e.g. maternal smoking, maternal diet, or high levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals).

This finding supports the belief that seeds of disease are sown before birth, increasing the importance of optimal prenatal care.

"This study may help us understand whether epigenetic mechanisms contribute to chronic disease susceptibility already prior to birth,".

"We are currently exploring which stresses during prenatal life may contribute to these epigenetic disruptions," the researcher said.
