Early life, adiposity rebound, puberty
Early life, adiposity rebound, puberty: which nutrients, food groups, dietary or anthropometric patterns are critical for body fatness and the GH-IGF-axis in young adulthood?
It has been proposed that the growth-hormone insulin-like-growth factor 1 (GH-IGF-1) axis, body fatness and insulin resistance in adulthood can be programmed during sensitive periods of growth. Since these factors are linked to cancer development we analysed the relevance of six factors acting during early life, childhood or puberty for these outcomes in young adulthood.
