Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates whether in utero exposure to economic hardship experienced by a grandmother during pregnancy has long-term effects on her grandchildren's health, using historical data from 18th-19th century Norway.
  • The findings reveal a "culling effect," where grandchildren of grandmothers who experienced hardship tend to live about ten years longer, especially among those from the lowest social classes, whereas in higher social classes, hardship negatively impacted grandchildren’s health.
  • Overall, the research suggests that economic hardship during pregnancy can have complex, transgenerational health consequences that vary by social class, with potential long-term survival benefits for the lower classes.]
