Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses how noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are increasingly common worldwide, and early life nutrition plays a key role in influencing the risk of developing these diseases later in life.
  • It explains that environmental factors, especially nutrition during early development, can cause changes in the epigenome—chemical modifications that regulate gene activity without altering the DNA sequence—affecting how genes are turned on or off.
  • The review emphasizes that both maternal and paternal nutrition can modify the epigenome and suggests that these epigenetic changes are causally linked to an increased or decreased risk of future health problems.]
