Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “Famine during pregnancy is associated with pSGA at birth and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes in adult offspring” is true or false.

Introduction: Maternal nutrition is one of the most important factors during pregnancy which can determine the overall health and well-being of the growing infant. Famine refers to an extreme shortage of food in a wide area over a prolonged period of time. It can be attributed to various factors such as crop failure, war, and inflation. This is usually followed by starvation, malnutrition, and high mortality.
