fetal programming
In early fetal development there are changes in body structure and function caused by environmental stimuli.
-When pregnant mother is malnourished fetus changes its body structure and function to prepare for harsh conditions.
When the environment switches from the adverse conditions, e.g., malnutrition, to a situation of abundant supply, this exposes the baby to an environment that goes against what its body is designed for.--> to risk of disease as an adult
